Eric Lindquist

artist

Studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute and learned relief printing was far more interesting. Found work after graduation in commercial printing, bouncing my way from numbering forms to production work for national brands and advertising consultation with a local firm. This period provided me the opportunity to buy my own press and I stuck out on my own for about seven years working with boutique brands and local artists, putting on shows in an aimless hipster phase. It was in 2019 that my rent finally raised and I moved to Phoenix to take work as a pool boy, rejoin family, and start printing with Hazel and Violet. The dimensions of my work started to expand as equipment access was offered and one day I was told I might ask Xico for press time. Since then we have been collaborating to produce new work describing various scenes of local life and architectural landmarks specific to this new city I am exploring.
