Eric Klemm has his work in private- and corporate collections in Canada, the USA and Europe, as well as museums and public art galleries such as: the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Portland Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, London and the Saarlandmuseum, Saarbruecken, Germany.

It was in 1999, when he picked up painting again, his other great passion. Eric painted a lot between 2004 - 2015 in the new studio of his house on Salt Spring Island.

Eric Klemm’s new acrylic paintings are in the modernist tradition of Joseph Albers, Molinari, Ellsworth Kelly and Mark Rothko, who described his work in 1950 as: “the simple expression of the complex thought”. Multiforms developed into a signature style. Art for me is an experiment that begins in one corner of the canvas and ends in the other. The creation of something from nothing.
