Laguna College Of Art + Design is proud to present REVELATION & RUIN, an exhibition showcasing original Mixed Media and Collage work by Eric Stoner.

Inspired by a love of natural history, the complex religious imagery of Hieronymus Bosch, and the Genre painters of the American West, this series of work depicts casts of characters playing out archetypal and mythological themes that speak to the structures of human experience. The stories are set against surreal and ancient landscapes that exist in various cycles of deep time and extinction.

Created from materials collected and saved over his lifetime, these mixed media collages weave images and artifacts into narratives of Divine Chaos. They express a deep and personal cosmology that had its original spark in childhood. By composing personal memorabilia into narrative imagery, Eric has found a way to indulge his imagination, while reflecting on the stories and memories that are meticulously crafted into every detail.
