It’s been HOT here. I know, it’s summer, but in the city it can be downright oppressive and depressing. If I were at the ocean I’d be all “quit your whining” but as I sit in a stuffy apartment on a velvet sofa (way to think that through, Erin) I am going to let myself complain. And dream. And as I plodded down Newbury Street yesterday sweating like a pig I saw the paintings of Eric Zener in the window of Lanoue Fine Art and could almost feel a slap of cold refreshing water. I’d been introduced to his work by Andrew’s aunt years ago, but seeing them right as I was so hot and parched (and without a blog topic for today) seemed like divine intervention.
Pretty cool, aren’t they? In a modern beach house they would be AMAZING. His book too could be fantastic on a coffee table in the summer (and waaaaaaay cheaper).
This one cracks me up (and makes me want a neon coral bikini)
He also does some work that reminds me a lot of Massimo Vitali’s stuff but a little dreamier.
I love these! so great for summer!
My parents just bought a beach house. I’d love to buy one of his pieces as a housewarming gift, but, ahem….
The book looks perf.
He is one of my favorites! xx
Those are paintings?! They look so realistic! And I feel your pain…it is HOT in Minneapolis too and these pool scenes look oh so refreshing.
Love these! I think I actually love the beach ones most!
Wow, those are fabulous! Thanks for sharing! :-)
Not only are these cool, they are all so hip and refreshing! Love to have them in my imaginary beach house!

LOVE LOVE LOVE- such a great concept- I especially love the splash pics- very cool
LOVE these pieces!! The white sand looking down onto beach is my favorite. Very refreshing.
Happy Monday.

Nice art!
Great way to start off the week…any week of summer for that matter! Have a wonderful week!! xx
Love these. It’s amazing to think that they’re paintings. I always like to see a little bit of art and culture. Happy Monday!

Fabulous! I am going to have to hit Newbury Street to see them in person.
Even if they were photographs they would be fabulous….but paintings!! Oh my!!
Ooh, these are great!! Thanks for sharing! Just saw a Massimo Vitali piece at the Corcoran Gallery of Art here in DC, and it was mesmerizing. You could just stare at it forever discovering new things.
And now I am dying for a swim. Love the photographs, but those paintings are amazing.
They are ALL paintings!
LOVE his work! And it is perfect for the heat we have been having!
What great artwork. Thanks for sharing this.
I love changing “art” seasonally…really helps the psyche! franki
