Biography
Eric Allan Cameron (b.1994) is a Canadian painter whose work explores themes of memory, ecological fragility, and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. Through a meticulous process of sanding, layering pigment, and manipulating scale, Cameron creates paintings and works on paper that exist at the threshold between presence and absence. His atmospheric spaces evoke a meditative resonance, balancing direct observation with intuition. Drawing from photographic archives and lived experiences, Cameron reflects on how nature’s resilience mirrors our own capacity to transform trauma, memory, and experience into renewal and growth.
Raised in Winnipeg and now based in southwestern Ontario, Cameron holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba’s School of Art and is currently pursuing an MFA at the University of Western Ontario. His work has been exhibited across Canada, most recently in a solo presentation at NADA New York, and has been featured in publications such as Border Crossings magazine.
