Eric Croes: “The Gods Must Be Crazy” @ Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles
Richard Heller Gallery is pleased to present: Eric Croes: The Gods Must Be Crazy. This is Croes’ second solo exhibition with the gallery. Eric Croes creates a procession of singular works, a fresco of characters coming straight from his studio and his imagination. Inspired by his true and dreamed travels — from Southern Italy to California, Egypt or Belgium — by iconic figures — from Janus to Cleopatra — by traditions and folklore — from Roman votive hands to sailor tattoos — but also by his impressions and sensations. He mixes and melts them, knots and recomposes his visions through ceramic. Croes shows an intimate and unique mythology. A universe filled with symbols, stories and poetry.

We’re excited to give our sink side a chic upgrade after nearly two years of washing our hands like the dickens to keep us safe and healthy as we continue to endure this pandemic. In my previous life I worked with one of the most beloved soap companies out there called method. While I’ll always support my former employer not only for their great products but for their strong values I was excited to discover Eddi for a little new year, new soap experience. Eddi founders Sarah Pura and Jamison Pereira partnered with the amazingly talented team at Box Clever, the design firm behind products like Away suitcases and Caraway cookware, to design a truly sustainable soap dispenser system people would be delighted to display in any environment. Box Clever took a strategic approach to the design process in an effort to determine how to remove plastic from the product system. This led to the exploration of using aluminum, a material that is both durable and infinitely recyclable resulting in a timeless soap dispensing system that is as sustainable as possible. The Eddi soap dispenser was also cleverly designed to enable future brand collaborations with strategic business partners.
