Eric French (b. 1969) earned his Bachelor’s Degree in 1994 from the School ofFine Arts and Design in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Master’s Degree in 1996 from the Savannah College of Arts and Design in Savannah, Georgia. French's body of work reflects a profound love and comprehension of color theory, demonstrating a disciplined approach rooted in extensive subject research. His artistic journey involves a dedicated study of composition and the impact of art fundamentals on content, resulting in varied visual outcomes. Whether through expressive gestures in abstract pieces or precise approaches in geometric works, French's confident strokes and masterful use of color serve as a cohesive thread in his open-style approach to artmaking.
