Eric Zammitt

Eric Zammitt (born 1960) is an American artist based in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his sculptures and paintings which he constructs by layering small pieces of colored acrylic plastic. Zammitt's work employs minimalism and abstraction to explore various themes including light, color, emotion, matter, and energy. He is the son of artist Norman Zammitt, who is associated with the Light and Space movement.
== Work ==
Zammitt creates his artworks by gluing together small pieces of Poly(methyl methacrylate) acrylic plastic which he then sands and polishes. For his wall works, the slabs of plastic are cut into thin strips and arranged to form abstract compositions, before being laminated and polished. This process results in monumental sculptures, installations, and "paintings" made up of thousands of small rectangles of plastic that are abstract, colorful, and geometric. These small segments of colored plastic create the illusion of a pixelated image. The transparent nature of the plastic allows light to pass through his works, giving them a luminous quality. Art critic John Carver wrote of Zammitt's work that, "The flawless, high-polish surfaces turn the rectangles into perfect, incredibly intricate, wafer-thin mirages of light and color through minute, seamlessly subtle, yet potent chromatic interactions." 
Zammitt describes his wall works as paintings stating, "For me, colored acrylic plastic is simply paint, but in solid form, and my “brushes” are the bandsaw, table saw, and glue." While some of his work appears to be non-representational, his paintings have been described as depicting sunsets, seascapes, light, energy, and space. Zammitt's work has been associated with the Light and Space movement, Op art|Op Art, Finish Fetish, and Impressionism.
== Exhibitions ==
Zammitt's work is included in numerous public and private collections including the Betty Asher Collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He has exhibited his work in shows across the United States and internationally in Japan and South Korea.
