a characteristic that offers a more dynamic approach
to the final artwork, as well as enhancing the
compositional elements that are a part of the
landscape.
The color palette used by Wiles is also quite
thoughtfully realized to adequately express both, the
emotions that artist wants to convey as well as the
structural elements that are needed to be enhanced.
Specifically by implementing contrasting color tones
to create a visually striking final result, one that
manages to structure a dramatic tone to the
landscapes. The way that these colors are positioned
within the pictures is also extremely thoughtful, as they
manage to underline and bring forward the most
crucial elements of the composition. This combination
of all the features mentioned above orchestrates a
diverse and rich final result, one which is aesthetically
pleasant as well as showcasing the full extent of Wiles’
artistic expertise.
Another fascinating part of his creative work is his
more abstract artistic creations, those even more
adherent to the fine art side of his artistic expression. It
is a chapter of his work that once again showcases his
mastery over technical elements of photography, as
well as establishing some even more exciting ideas and
technology refinements that manage to focus on
more fluid and philosophical concepts. It is a body of
artworks that relies heavily on digital manipulation/
photomontage and through its meaningful use manage
to create an atmosphere both surreal and compelling.One will witness unusual combinations of objects in
many of Eric Wiles fine art photographs but always
depicted and composed breathtakingly realistic, thus
the viewer is invited into an engaging conceptual
discussion about the nature of reality and perception. It
is a contemporary conceptual approach to the
surrealism and the roots of such artistic practices that
were established in the 20th century, one that manages
to introduce these ideas into new concepts that utilize
contemporary technology to create even more
technically refined results. Through his work Wiles
leads to visualize questions and ideas about our reality
and perception, ones that radically alter already
established ways of thinking. Specifically, this way of"Kauai", Photograph, 22"x 28"Cont. Next Page
