E.A. Kirslis is a painter, photographer and artisan whose work explores change and the passage of time, altered perspective, and meditations on labor, and human experience. His abstract landscape works emerged from a body of his photographic work capturing aesthetics hidden in material industrial infrastructure that transits our globe, incurring severe weathering and oxidation from exposure to the harshest environmental conditions on Earth. His works reflect human histories that invert the traditional scale of industrial photography, while showing scarred materiality and monumental beauty in intimate details. 
 
In addition to his editioned works produced with archival printing processes, his unique oil and cold wax works unite photography and painting to investigate how layered surfaces carry memory, damage, and beauty. His works reinterpreting abstract landscape reflect on how global capitalism and man-made infrastructure leave material traces that become inadvertent collaborations between human systems and the natural world. 
 
His works have sold in the U.S., Canada, France, and Germany to private collectors. He co-directs Verdigris Gallery in Essex, Connecticut.
