A pop artist at heart, Nick gravitates toward the visual cues of a high-fructose universe. The diners, parlors, and bakeries of retro pastime have consistently inspired Nick’s work, which he believes is a pastel, multicolored window into Americana culture.
When it comes to painting desserts and temptations, he strives to realistically render the varying textures of cream, cake, and cherry – so lifelike that you can almost taste them.
Imbuing his desserts with neon-colored tones and highlights, Nick embraces the spectrum of the sweet. While ice cream and frosting are often consumed quickly, Nick A. Erickson’s artwork can be eaten through the eyes, infinitely, without any fear of melting away.
