Eric Pirolt creates artwork around concepts of the specific moments that make up a life. The temporality of the human form, the power it can contain, and even the matter a life depends on becomes rich subjects of exploration.

Pirolt's imbues his expansive installations, sculpture, video works, and paintings with direct compositions and specific color-schemes: each project has it's own determined aesthetic.

Eric Pirolt has shown his work extensively within Norway and abroad, including at the Palais de Tokyo, the Colombo Art Bienalle in Sri Lanka, and Bristol Kunsbiennale in the UK. He graduated with an MFA from Oslo's own Kunstakademiet in 2008, and has since received many grants and awards.
