Erin Joy Svitko (ESTKO)
Erin Joy Svitko (ESTKO) is an abstract aerosol artist that moved to Charlotte in 2014 from Philadelphia. She’s been creating geometric-abstractions for 8 years, while experimenting on different canvases like walls, wood, up-cycled mediums and functional art. ESTKO also prints digital patterns from magnifying left over spray paint drippings that resemble Rorschach tests. She has focused on drawing and painting patterns that show the juxtaposition between geometric versus flowing lines found in nature, or even more so, crystalized patterns versus muscle-like structures. She also uses abstract line art to celebrate women’s bodies and bring light to struggles that are uncomfortable yet need more awareness brought to.
