Eric Fortune’s hauntingly beautiful, lyrical, photorealistic paintings, featuring statuesque humans or human-like mythical beings, convey a sense of movement, of epic vastness, and of illumination. The figures are often suspended in air, on the brink of falling, in motion, or reaching towards a source of light as towards some deeply powerful spiritual or inner discovery. They are always on some pinnacle; on the verge of redemption, destruction, crossing boundaries, or the threshold of immolating enlightenment.
