Erik Lundin Retrospective at The Kelpie Gallery

A first ever showing of the works of the late artist Erik Lundin of Rockland/Thomaston and Madrid, Spain at The Kelpie Gallery of South Thomaston, Maine. Erik Lundin Retrospective – The Art of a Quiet Soul opening reception Saturday, September 9, 2017 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Erik Lundin, a lifetime and reclusive artist, died at the age of 86 having never shown his paintings. Susan Lewis Baines of The Kelpie Gallery has been gifted almost 300 pieces of artwork and as many studies of the artist’s life’s works by Lundin’s sister in the hopes of creating and building the legacy of her late brother.

Baines was approached by a healthcare worker of Lundin’s asking Baines to view his body of work. Baines agreed and was impressed with the artist’s geodynamic landscapes of Maine, Spain, and Central America. Baines met with the artist before his passing. His wish was to have confirmation by the populace of his talent. Unfortunately, Erik Lundin passed away before he could realize his wish. Susan agreed to accepting the work with one caveat; that 50% of the sales of Erik Lundin’s work by donated to the Sussman House, a hospice facility located in Rockport, Maine.
