Eric Snell, an artist with a career spanning over four decades, has consistently explored the intricate relationship between materials, processes, and the natural forces that surround us. From his earliest experimental Kite Drawings, through to his magnetic and burnt wood work, Snell has been interested in exploring how natural elements and everyday objects cannot only collaborate to support, shape, and inform his work but he is also interested to see how these components can often dictate the outcome.
Central to Snell’s artistic philosophy is the concept of the artist as a catalyst, a mediator who brings together disparate elements to create a visual as well as cerebral and physical balance.
Born in 1953 in Guernsey of the Channel Islands in Great Britain, Snell is currently based in Wiltshire, UK.
