About this artwork
Mark's painting, 'Apollo' is steady & confident, just like it’s inspiration, Apollo 11. First to the moon in 1969 at the end of the 1960s. A once dreamed childhood moment for many turns into an historic myth & then legend. July 20, 1969 culminated into ethereal satisfaction for Mark's father, Ernest Anders. He’d worked with NASA, the Mercury Project & was involved in top secret projects with Lockheed. The smile on his face, when Armstrong planted…
his foot down on the Lunar surface was remarkable, Mark's mother later told him. From the Lunar Module 'Eagle' came that famous step & that often mentioned quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" The brush strokes intertwine & connect on Mark's Apollo, a tribute to his dad. Colors mesh & the shapes evolve lyrically forward, to the heavens, the skies above. With thought out appropriate painterly gestural movements the painting states, Blast Off! Apollo moves upwards and spirals across the surface to the clear blue.

« Change is inevitable and something I seek. »
American painter Mark Erickson was first inspired to paint by his grandmother, who was an artist herself. He has since exhibited in major cities across the United States. Erickson works with acrylic on canvas or wood, and sometimes adds additional collage elements. Inspired by literature, comics, and music, his artistic process is like a dance- constantly changing and full of spontaneity. Erickson's abstract expressionist works are bright, atmospheric, and humorous.
