Eric Tkaczyk is an interdisciplinary, multimedia artist, designer and arts-worker whose work navigates spaces of real and unreal through both material and digital investigations. With painting, computer software, collage and video installation, his work explores notions of sentimentality, disembodiment, and fragmentation through queer sensibilities. Tkaczyk’s practice considers the possibilities of otherworldliness, as well as the psychological impacts of existing in a digitally-partitioned world.
Recent exhibitions include Iridescent Spectre (2023) and a distance, a heart felt (2022) at Duplex Artist Society, beyond the scrim at the Mount Pleasant Community Art Screen (2022), and /ˈsent(ə)nəl/ at Burrard Arts Foundation’s Garage in Vancouver, BC (2021-22). Tkaczyk’s work /ˈsent(ə)nəl/ was featured in an article by Clara Dubber in Discorder Magazine (2022). He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2020) is also a co-facilitator and on the Board of Directors at Duplex Artist Society.
As an uninvited guest living and practicing on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-waututh) Nations, Tkaczyk recognizes his privilege as a settler, and strives to practice sensitivity, care and respect on these lands.
