Ethan currently focuses mainly on painting, but also has experience with sculpture, design, photography and art direction for film. His conceptual artwork, Where the Wall Meets the Floor III, is boiled down to the analysis of the architectural thresholds and the relationship between the exterior and interior, space and place.

This image represents a paradoxical balance of precision versus tolerance. On one side, it is minimalist, geometrical and very thoroughly planned. On another, he allows changes and improvisation in the process and paints the lines by hand, without any ruler. “Perfection is only achieved when I move away from the conscious pursuit of perfection”, Ethan states.
