…works within a newer-objectivity, a contrived and self-aware critical philosophy that is drawn to the labor, time, and material necessary for the performance of the specific cultural ritual of producing art. He seeks to observe process as its own image and subject. From his observations he adds to an ever-growing library of figures and forms through a variety of visual techniques, including stone carving, concrete casting, metalworking, and silk screen printing to name just a few. Each form is a direct product of its respective making process, through which Bohrer is able to connect himself and the viewer within a moment in and out of time.

While attending Reed College in Portland, Oregon, Eric designed and printed graphic material for concerts organized by local promoters “Angel Booking,” between 2015 and 2017. His first installation Archive b/w Estate, was featured as a part of Reed Arts Week 2015. He has since created, exhibited, and sold his work across the country while working as a library technician, production artist, wholesale delivery driver, and exhibit fabricator. Recently his silk screen prints have been shown as a part of national printmaking exhibitions at Webster Arts in St. Louis, Missouri and Artlink Contemporary Gallery in Fort Wayne, Indiana. His series of sculptural and performance pieces from the fall of 2021, Visions of Social Control, was designated “Best in Show” as a part of the annual College of Art and Design Visual Showcase at Rochester Institute of Technology. His installation, Work Comes First, was featured in Surface Scope, a group show with other artists-in-residence at Carrie Able Gallery in Brooklyn, NY through the winter of 2022-23.

Bohrer graduated in 2017 with a BA of Art History from Reed College, and earned an MFA of Studio Art at Rochester Institute of Technology in 2022. He currently lives and works screen printing fine art editions in Brooklyn, New York.
