Looking After Eric (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Martin Breeze

120 x 120 cm
Acrylic on canvas

In Looking After Eric, bold geometric forms and raw, expressive lines come together in a restless dialogue of colour and shape. The top half is alive with stark black motifs layered over a backdrop of dripping pinks and reds, evoking a frenetic city of symbols and watchful faces. Below, a vibrant field of golden yellow steadies the composition, grounding the chaos with warmth and weight.

The interplay between order and disorder is central here: playful white loops cut across the surface, binding elements that might otherwise fracture apart. This tension between connection and fragmentation makes the work both energetic and contemplative.

The title hints at an intimate, almost personal narrative, but leaves the viewer to decide who “Eric” might be and why he needs looking after. In this way, the painting operates like a coded message: open-ended, layered, and inviting interpretation.

A striking, conversation-starting piece, Looking After Eric will command presence in any space, balancing vibrant colour with the intrigue of abstract storytelling.
