Artist Statement

Since an early age, Nick A. Erickson has delved into the realm of aesthetics, particularly those that evoke nostalgia. As a pop artist at heart, Nick gravitates toward the visual cues of a high-fructose universe. The diners, parlors, and bakeries of retro pastimes have consistently inspired his work, which he believes acts as a pastel, multicolored window into Americana culture. When painting desserts and temptations, Nick strives to realistically render the varying textures of cream, cake, and cherries – so lifelike that you can almost taste them.

Imbuing his desserts with neon-colored tones and highlights, Nick embraces the sweet spectrum. While ice cream and frosting are often consumed quickly, Nick A. Erickson’s artwork can be savored endlessly through the eyes, infinitely, without fear of melting away.
