Icons, Unknowns and a little bit of Dough

Eric Thaller presents Icons, Unknown and a little bit of Dough, a solo exhibition organized by Exxhibit Arts, located at Mondrian Los Angeles Hotel.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eric first started creating art as a refuge from a Wall Street job that was burning him out.  While on a self imposed break from work, his creative endeavors became the pathway for personal restoration and change.  He has been pursuing his artistic passions ever since.

With Icons, Unknowns, and a little bit of Dough, Eric brings together two very different bodies of work, emphasizing the diversity of style for which he is known.  In his Rebirth of the Pixel series the pieces are made from thousands of Legos. "I'm really fascinated how the human eye and brain work together. This got me thinking about the notion of pixelization - any image can be broken down into small units of color". The resulting pieces are a celebration of some of Eric's favorite icons juxtaposed against unknown people who have endured real hardship. The contrast of life.

Eric recently began to explore techniques found in the urban art scene while still integrating clear messages for the viewer. These new pieces on display dare to share potentially irreconcilable views on money - or dough!
