Eric Legge

A self-taught painter from north Georgia, Eric Legge has been steadily gaining renown amongst folk art collectors over the last few years and has attracted the attention of collectors nationwide. His work is a feast of bold colors and magical compositions with simple themes--landscape, still life, Americana, figures and faces. Overall, Eric's work is rendered in a spirit of joy and light-heartedness that leaves the viewer feeling the same. Above all, Eric's intuitive sense of color brings a richness to his paintings not often found in folk or fine art. Eric paints every day now, and has for the past eight years. It is his habit to put on a pot of coffee at 9 or 10 pm and paint through the night in his studio, a cavernous warehouse filled to capacity with paintings, found objects and the work of many other folk artists with whom he has traded art for art. He never seems to forget how he got his start--selling paintings on the streets of Atlanta for a minimal amount, happy when a painting found a good home. Even today, with galleries and collectors investing regularly in his work, Eric aims to keep his art accessible to everyone.
