Eric Palgon is a painter and poet from San Jose, California, who lives and works in New York. His landscape-inspired paintings combine emotional color with gestural marks. He is interested in the way paintings navigate uncertainty, conviction, beauty, confusion, and play. Eric Palgon has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the V1 Gallery and at the Henry Street Settlement/Abrons Arts Center. There have been many articles about Eric Palgon, including '“Feed the Meter” at Galerie Bernard Ceysson, Windhof' written for MOUSSE Magazine in 2016.
