APPARITIONS
Apparitions is a body of work exploring endurance and what remains. Through fragmentation and symbolic forms like skulls, figures, pop icons, desert animals and imagery, the paintings reflect on memory and the quiet traces left behind by human experience and cultural movements.
Color and layered marks are used to suggest both presence and erosion, the seen and unseen, revealing images that feel discovered rather than fully declared.
Together, the works invite viewers to consider the unseen forces, histories, and moments that continue to shape us and the world around us.
I am excited to announce that 18 pieces from the Apparitions Exhibit are on display at Sun King Brewery in Carmel throughout the month of April. A second solo exhibit will be on display at the Fishers location throughout the month of May. Stop in to view the pieces in-person and grab some great local craft beer!




All APPARITIONS pieces are available through the venue. Interested in another piece, reach out to me directly at erikthien@gmail.com.
