ERICA IL CANE – WE WERE LIVING IN THE WOODS
2010-11-22Erica il Cane (translating to “Eric the Dog”) has gained international recognition for his anthropomorphic building-sized animal murals throughout Italy and the continent. Erica’s large-scale murals have been transferred from the wall to feature works on paper and a on-site installation.
Born and studied in Bologna, Italy, Erica’s evolution to gallery work has seen depictions of animals in unique, human situations rendered in Victorian-like style illustrations, etchings, and short animated films. The art is often described as imagery from a dark fairy tale, in which animals are shown within the darkness of human nature, focusing on themes of alienation, satire and existentialism.
