A visual retrospective of the turbulent year that was 2020 through
the eyes of the New York-based multi-disciplinary artist Erik Foss.
TWENTY TWENTY A Year in Pictures is a snapshot of Foss's psyche,
and also of one of the most turbulent years in recent American
history. A lot of the events and changes of the past year directly
influenced Erik's work, depicted in this remarkable and expressive
collection of imagery, bound together in a hardcover time capsule.
2020 was a horror show, but in many ways, that very horror has been
the muse for Erik's most artistically successful year. In a year
that struck fear and insomnia in the hearts and minds of millions,
we, as a culture, have undergone grave interruptions in our
progression towards diversity, and global health.The onset of
COVID-19, in combination with the political turmoil that ensued, we
have been forced to re-examine our values, practices, and
authority. In the early months of this pandemic, many Americans and
global citizens faced an uprooting of lifestyle, unemployment, loss
of family, experienced fear and anxiety, as well as witnessed the
demonstration of violent and non-violent protests as a result of
the BLM movement. If you've grazed the streets of downtown NYC at
any point in the past decade, you have likely been confronted with
the guttural, and expressive style of Erik Foss. After moving to
New York in 1996, Erik quickly established himself as a figurative
kingpin within arts and downtown culture. Having been privy to a
vastness of experience within the realms of music, art, and gallery
production has ultimately added to the depth, honesty, and
complexity of his work. If nothing else, Erik is a prolific artist.
In the first four months of 2020, he created: Several Portal

drawings Abstract trompe l'oeil works made with oil and acrylics A
large street mural His first bronze sculptures
