BIOGRAPHY

 

Eric Armusik
Classical Figurative Painter

In the past two decades, paintings by artist, Eric Armusik have become prized by collectors worldwide because their deep emotional and dramatic depictions emulate the Old Masters of 17th Century Italy. Armusik and his paintings have been featured in the pages of The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, Victorian Homes Magazine, American Art Collector Magazine, American Artist Magazine, Old House Journal, and numerous newspapers, TV and radio spots worldwide.

 

Armusik was awarded the prestigious Chairman's Choice Award in the 2009 Art Renewal Center International Salon, which featured over 1800 of the finest work from artists from over 30 countries. In 2003, he represented the United States in the Florence Biennial in Florence Italy. His art is in numerous private and public collections internationally including the Trenton Museum of Art and the Howard Tullman Collection, St. Sebastian Church, Akron, OH, and St. Therese RC Church, Seattle, WA.
