Erik Sommer

I found this artist and his artworks stood out to me because of the layers and textures of the cracks in his artworks. Although he uses cement - I could use slip.

"I have always been attracted to gritty, peeling, crackly textures, and found that by mixing cement with oils and acrylics and other industrial materials I can recreate, speed up and control the physical aging process. My work is about the passing of time, but also the preservation of this passing as a reflection on mortality. I try to search for the beauty in such diminished materials."
