Eric Wolf
b 1960 Hackensack, New Jersey, lives and works between Chatham, New York, and Rangeley, Maine
Eric Wolf maintains a practice devoted to the rigorous constraints and expressive possibilities of a monochromatic ink palette. In a career spanning over three decades, Wolf has interrogated the lineage of landscape tradition, bridging ancient Literati painting and the formalist reductions of Modernism. Working exclusively en plein air in singular, remote locations, his unmediated engagement with the environment and tension between observation and abstraction have earned him reviews in Art in America, Artforum, and The New York Times. Selected exhibitions include ABRI MARS, New York; Fredericks & Freiser, New York; Jeff Bailey Gallery, New York; Pamela Salisbury Gallery, Hudson, New York; Daniel Weinberg Gallery, Los Angeles, California; Miles McEnery Gallery, New York; Gladstone Gallery, New York; Salon 94, New York; Kai Matsumiya, New York; Bill Arning Exhibitions, Kinderhook, New York; Spazio 22, Milan, Italy; Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio; The Drawing Center, New York; The Grolier Club, New York; Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, France; Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina. Residencies include MacDowell, Peterborough, New Hampshire; Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, New York; Art Omi, Ghent, New York; Giverny, Giverny, France; Blue Mountain Center, Blue Mountain Lake, New York. Wolf holds a BFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island; an MFA in Painting from the City College of New York, New York; and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, Maine.
