Artwork created right in front of your eyes!!
Artist, Eric Matelski, A.K.A “The Art Pimp” has made his place in the art community by painting live, creating chalk murals, curating, coordinating art events, and donating his time and artwork to a number of charities and non-profits.
As a “live artist,” Eric has painted loose portraits of musicians and performers at hundreds of concerts and events, attracting an audience of his own, and completing paintings sometimes in just minutes. Eric’s paintings have been collected over the years by both personal and corporate collections.
Eric currently serves as part of the artist committee for Denver Chalk Art Festival. In 2008 Eric was named by Denver one of the city’s 150 unsung heroes for his work in the Denver art community. In 2010 Eric was awarded a MasterMind award from Westword. In 2013 Eric was named one of Denver’s top 100 creatives. 2014 Eric received the ArtReach Ginger Merelli Special Events Volunteer Award.
