Art that's red!
How about that for a curatorial aesthetic!
Our first artist is Erik Von Ploennies,
and we're pairing his work "Eye For An I" with the song "The Shadow."
Note: The art isn't illustrative; we just like the way these two things "talk" to each other.
Erik Von Ploennies began experimenting with art in 2004 (age: 35), after visiting the Guggenheim Museum - NYC and seeing Vasily Kandinsky's, "Painting With White Border". His formal education is in electrical engineering and has no art training. Erik moved from California to Brooklyn, New York in July 2007 to pursue his interests in art. He is actively exhibiting in New York City.
Says Erik: "One of my favorite Paul Klee paintings is "Paukenspieler" (English translation is something like Drum Player or Kettle Drummer). The eye, bold black lines, and red, became the inspiration for my painting."

Thanks for kicking things off Erik!
