Presenting

Eric Fowler is an award-winning painter and illustrator. In recent years he has become interested in painting cityscapes. Eric Fowler wants his artwork to speak for those old buildings we pass by every day that can’t tell their own story.

Most buildings have souls. I listen to lost buildings. I paint many older structures of urban blight. I give them a voice. Once they held a special purpose: as a local tavern, an old bungalow, a small family business, a local meeting hall, maybe an apartment house or an old hay bar. They were built for a purpose. They were alive. Some will survive, yet most will be demolished. I love these lost souls, these old ghosts.
--Eric Fowler

Fowler’s loose painterly style makes an exciting visual contradiction to the hard-edged urban subject matter that he depicts. He looks for buildings to paint at the time of day when the lights and shadows are exaggerated. “The light brings out the mood and imparts nostalgia," says Fowler.

Fowler was awarded a BFA with honors from Pratt Institute. He is currently a professor at the Pennsylvania School of Art and Design in Lancaster. He exhibits his works extensively at galleries and museums throughout New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Fowler is also a highly sought after illustrator. Gourmet Magazine and the New York Times frequently commission his food illustrations. He is a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and the Society of Illustrators in New York, and his works reside in many area public and private collections.

Isadore Gallery, 228 N. Prince Street, is open Thursdays and Fridays 10-6 PM, Saturdays 10-5 PM and by appointment called 717-299-0127. The artist will be available at the First Friday reception on September 5 from 5 to 9 PM.
