Eric Haze
Born and bred in New York City, Haze has been influential in the worlds of graffiti, graphic design and contemporary art for over four decades. After making his initial mark as a pioneer of graffiti’s rise above ground in the 1970s and 80s, Haze made a career out of pushing creative boundaries in a number of mediums, soon emerging as the premier graphic designer of the exploding Hip Hop movement. Throughout the next decade, Haze created iconic logos, album covers and identities for the likes of The Beastie Boys, Tommy Boy, LL Cool J, EPMD, MTV, and many others. The new millennium has seen Haze make a serious commitment and return to painting and drawing. Working out of his studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Haze’s work reflects an array of important movements in art history, and deals with abstract shapes and intersecting lines to reflect universal themes and his passion for movement and gesture.
