Meet Erich Taeubel Jr.
I am a graduate of the North Light Art School. I began my career
as a student of fine art at Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon.
Throughout my studies I was greatly influenced by the post impressionist cubists
such as Cezanne and Braque. I also gravitate toward the color palettes of the
Fauvists, especially Andre Derain.
I get my inspirations from observing my surroundings and then pushing the
envelope a bit further to simplify the subject beyond reality. My
inspiration for Newport Gothic
came to me when I saw the architectural beauty of the understructure of the
Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport Oregon. My feelings of futility that the common
worker is trapped in led to Blue Collar Rut.
The interrelationship between the sea, earth and sky led me to paint Glad
for Stella as a tribute to Frank Stella, another of my artistic idols.
