"Gorilla" is a striking interplay of force and structure, where raw energy collides with rigid form. A towering gorilla, composed of electrified filaments in vivid hues of orange, blue, and crimson, emerges from a vast geometric framework. Its mouth is open in a silent roar, a moment frozen between defiance and inevitability. The grid that overlays the scene is precise, methodical—a system imposing its order upon the untamed.

 

Below, fluid, turbulent currents swirl, carrying fragments of people working at their computers, unaware of the beast above. Shanes’ intricate layering of colour and structure invites contemplation—does the Gorilla resist, or is it dissolving into the very system that surrounds it?

 

Shanes deftly juxtaposes the raw power of nature with the pervasive influence of technology, reflecting on the evolving dynamics of human-AI relations and challenging viewers to contemplate their own existence within this complex interplay.

    ABOUT

    Eric Shanes’ work is a sumptuous exploration of existence, inviting viewers into a cosmic perspective that is as unsettling as it is captivating.

     

    His paintings are unsparing, often provocative, and designed to challenge. Yet, they are undeniably seductive—intensely coloured, majestically composed, and layered with meaning. Shanes never sought easy answers or simple solutions; his art demands engagement, rewarding those who dare to navigate its intricate mazes with wisdom, beauty, and a touch of sardonic humour.

     

    A lifelong scholar and artist, Shanes drew inspiration from a deep well of intellectual and creative pursuits. His passion for the arts—spanning music, literature, and visual mastery—fuelled his ambition to transcend the ordinary. For Shanes, art was not merely about what we see; it was about reaching beyond, into the profound and the unseen. Through his work, we are invited to grapple with the complexities of existence, to find beauty in struggle, and to embrace the challenge of seeing the world anew.
