Holly Johnson Gallery will present Eric Cruikshank's exhibition, "Paper Skies," representing a selection of 12, intimately scaled oil on paper paintings created during the past year. This is the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery.

The Scottish artist Eric Cruikshank is a modern painter. Born in a country and into a culture with a strong narrative tradition, his work departs from customary figuration, yet revels in the craft and artisanship of his chosen medium. While this embrace of non-figurative abstraction is thoroughly modern, Cruikshank's devotion to his craft is conservative in the best sense.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through August 18.
