About the Item

Vintage comic books and mixed media on panel Paul Ecke is a mid-career painter of contemporary non-figurative and figurative works on canvas and panel. His works are an amalgam of color, texture, and movement achieved through the application of oil and acrylic paints to canvas, all applied by brush, hand, and even trowel. The results are magnificent, colorful, thought and emotion-provoking images that convey the inner strength, conviction, and complexity of the artist. Paul Ecke was educated at California State University, Fullerton, receiving degrees in art with an emphasis in ceramic arts and painting. His classical training taught him to represent the human form. His skill as a ceramicist affects his paintings, giving them a three-dimensional quality through the application of textural media to his works on canvas. Ecke with his newest series “Comic Strip” can be described as a means of creating laughter and nostalgia. The collection is intended to engage the viewer in conversation. The heroes and villains in the different comic strips create magical fantasies that are rhetorical exaggerations. For decades, scholars have been making the connection between the design of the superhero story and the mythology of the ancient folktale. The comics become epic storytelling. The artist has created works of art that are a combination of vintage comic collaging, texture, and paint. Ecke's works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Manila, Philippines and the Daytona Florida Museum of Arts and Science. He has shown in galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Diego, Palm Springs, Florida, the Philippines and Bali, Indonesia. His works are in many private and corporate collections including those of Universal Studios, Jimmy Z Sportswear, Taco Bell, Flojet Corporation, Carsey Warner Productions and Dionne Warwick’s collection. Works by Paul Ecke are already slated to be part of an endowment of contemporary paintings and graphics art to London’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Ecke has been the featured artist in numerous art publications.
