Lengtht’s landscape paintings, based on memories and photographs, emphasise something that to him has appeared mysteriously alluring. It could be the shape of a cloud, a particular light, or a shift in colour in the sky. When he finds that sense of mystery with the brush, he expands it, allows it to take over the scene and transforms it towards the otherworldly. Besides painting with oils, his work is characterised by techniques such as paint washes on cotton canvas, collage and drawing.
In recent years Eric Length has exhibited at galleries and international institutions including as RAM Galleri (Oslo, NO), Sjöbo konsthall (SE), Galleri Ping Pong (Malmö, SE), the crypt of Lund Cathedral (SE), and Galleri Arnstedt (Östra Karup, SE). In 2020 he was awarded the Ellen Trotzig Foundation by Malmö Art Museum.
