2019 July 5 to July 29 R3CLA1M: Eric Staib

R3CLA1M is a Solo Show by local Lansing artist Eric Staib. His work explores the process of recycling, reusing and breathing life and creativity back into materials that would otherwise have been discarded. Cardboard, canvas, paint cans, and even the paint itself has all been given a new purpose in Staib’s work.

Concepts explored in Staib’s pieces involve his desire to use recycled materials in order to confront the reality of being both a family man and an artist – utilizing found materials was born out of necessity, and has evolved into a totally new way of creating and viewing the possibility in recycled materials. The numbers call back to a visual communication of the artistic process and reference the artist’s dyslexia, and the ways he has developed his style to reflect and describe his experiences with the condition.
