Art as delicious as candy

Erіc Wаllіs's paintings beckon like candy, bright, luminous, sparkling with colour. His drawings are delicious, as pungent and tactile as licorice. His work is luscious, sensual, fleeting - just like the beauty of women.

We gave Wallis access to the Body in Mind galleries hoping the tasteful, exciting nudes we feature would inspire him.

They did. Within days he had sketched and painted several of our loveliest ladies, finding beauty in places we'd never thought to look like some kind of virtuoso beauty detective, capturing it as easily and deftly as Shеrlоck Hоlmеs finds clues.

Wallis taught us that beauty is not just the obvious, but is also a reward for making the effort to look, the decision to focus. Normally working from life, we taught Wallis that there is life in a photograph of a beautiful woman. We captured that beauty on film; he brought it back to life.

He impressed us; we impressed him.

There is something extremely satisfying in this process. Perhaps it is the discovery that female beauty is not just the surface or the substance but is a spirit that flows through our lives, or loves, our work, and ourselves.

It certainly flows through the work of Erіc Wаllіs. It breathes beauty.

And its breath is sweet like candy.
