About the Item
Based in Los Angeles, Eric Merrell (b. Gilroy, CA) paints a variety of subjects, including deserts, skateparks, nocturnes, still lives, and portraits. His distinctive use of bold colors and design combine to create a cohesive and recognizable body of work.
Growing up in Northern California, Merrell was introduced to the fundamentals of painting outdoors at an early age. After moving to the East Coast to attend The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, he was exposed to European and modern art. He continued to build on his strong foundations in studio painting and illustration when he transferred to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, while his newfound interest in modern art helped shape his path forward as a painter, carving out his own unique approach.
Merrell has become known for capturing moonlight and desert nocturnes in a way that’s both meditative and temperamental. Nocturnes, a short film about his dedication to painting nightscapes, directed by Alec Ernest, was released in 2016. Recently, inspired by the skateboarding he did in his youth, Merrell has been exploring this culture with a series of paintings depicting legendary skate spots and skateparks.
Merrell was selected for the Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency in 2009. Two solo exhibitions of the work were subsequently held — the first at The Forbes Gallery in New York City in 2010, and another the following year at American Legacy Fine Arts in Pasadena, CA. In 2019, he was chosen for an Artist Residency with the Mojave National Preserve Artist Foundation. A solo exhibition of work created there was presented at the La Quinta Museum in La Quinta, CA in 2022 and in 2023 at the Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Los Angeles.
His work has been exhibited at The Autry Museum of the American West, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, USC Fisher Museum of Art, Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, San Bernardino County Museum, Long Beach Museum of Art, Oceanside Museum of Art, National Cowboy
Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Coors Western Art Exhibition in Denver, the Frederick R. Weisman Museum, and the Wildling Museum, among others.
Merrell has lead his own painting workshops, and has taught at Art Center College of Design, Laguna College of Art + Design, and the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art.
Eric Merrell is represented by Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Los Angeles.

"In the Andalusian Desert" Oil Painting
By Ulrich Gleiter
Located in Denver, CO
Ulrich Gleiter's (EUR based) "In the Andalusian Desert" is an oil painting that depicts the textural hillside of a desert landscape.
Bio/Artist Statement:
German-born artist Ulrich Gleiter (b. 1977) is noted for his landscapes. His style is sometimes reminiscent of German expressionism and the Russian impressionists. He first studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts and later at the Repin Academy in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His work has been recognized with awards in the USA and in Russia and been featured in books and magazines.
"Ulrich Gleiter is a citizen of the world. Born in Saarbrücken, Germany, he pursued his undergraduate studies at Dresden’s Academy of Fine Arts, where he learned to paint with the bold, colorful strokes handed down from the early 20th-century German expressionists. Students there prioritized their individuality — no one but you could have made this picture, they were told. Gleiter then absorbed a different view of artistry during his exchange year at Moscow’s Surikov Institute, followed by six more years at the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg.
Today Gleiter divides time between Germany, Russia, and the United States, where he has become much admired among plein-airists in such scenic places as Colorado, California, and Wyoming. In our era of diplomatic tensions, when Crimea and Russia appear regularly in the headlines, Gleiter feels a renewed appreciation for nature’s timelessness — for its inspiring capacity to rise above the ins-and-outs of man-made problems. Today, he says, “I often think about the history of an area where I am painting, about how many troubles and beautiful things may have happened there. Most importantly, I am humbled to observe how natural forces never stop moving.” Gleiter turns his searching eye not only to wilderness, but also to the banalities of urban life — to parked cars, the glinting sprawl of an automobile dealer’s lot, retail stores, and even cargo ships. There, too — as in his portraits, nudes, and still lifes — he manages to find abstracted beauty and emotional significance in the interactions of light, color, and air."
