Fred Eck is a CSULB graduate student studying in the College of the Arts. The program he is in is drawing and painting. He received his undergrad at CSULB in 1977. He came back to get his masters. His art show displayed many pieces and his set up table was interactive with water sport equipment, yearbooks, and a TV. A fun fact is he has been surfing for 35 years.
Eck had 17 drawings and paintings. They displayed vibrant colors and most were oil on canvas. Most of his work was beach themed because he loves being at the beach and playing water sports. The art pieces were candid moments of people watching.
He paints/draws when he sees a good lighting opportunity. He likes to capture happy moments. They are mainly through his hobbies of going to the beach and sports. Some of his artwork is also from CSULB site seeing spots.
I liked the texture of his paintings. I thought it was cool how the closer you got to the paintings the blurrier they got. His work makes me look at buildings differently from a different eye.
