About Collin McEachran
Working with transparent acrylic paint, Collin creates luminous paintings of abstract landscapes and ethereal imagined spaces. Alternating between adding and subtracting paint onto non-porous polymer paper, his paintings explore light, color, time, process and materiality. He works on multiple paintings at a time in order to reflect the pace and abundance of content in our modern world in an attempt to render it sublime.
