Eric Deis (born 1979) is a Canadian photographer best known for his large-scale photographs.[1][2][3] In particular, his work addresses the "narrative potential of an all-encompassing picture plane".[4]

Life

Born in Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Eric Deis received a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 1999,[5] and an MFA from the University of California, San Diego in 2004.[6] Deis is currently lives and works in Vancouver, B.C.

Projects

In 2006 his photographs of sunset over Burrard Bridge were exhibited at Vancouver's Western Front gallery.[7] During the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Deis unveiled a 43' x 32' photograph, "Last Chance", on the side of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation building in downtown Vancouver.[8] In 2011, Deis collarboated with artist Sonny Assu on the project Artifacts of Authenticity.[9][10] In 2013, Deis encouraged the public to pirate his 360 degree image of Vancouver, titled Skybridge, that he took from the Skytrain bridge that traverses Vancouver's Fraser River.[11][12][13]

Awards

In 2007, Deis won the VADA (Visual Art Development Award) from the Vancouver Foundation.[14]

Collections

Deis' work is in the permanent collections of the Vancouver Art Gallery[15][16] and Video Out in Vancouver.[17]
