An abstract commission with Eric is an exciting and personal process, tailored to fit in a home or office space, infusing the client’s vision with Eric’s creativity. Brushwork, spatters, color choices and textures are incorporated with ideas and concepts developed through collaboration to create a one-of-a-kind, truly unique piece of art.
Typically, Eric begins the commission process by listening to the client's vision and ideas, reviewing pictures of the space the artwork will be displayed in or visit the location, if possible. Eric and the client can discuss sizing, colors and techniques as it relates to the space, and how they work in the painting. Also, he provides the opportunity to discuss framing options, if that’s a consideration, as well as answer any other questions a client may have.
Commission sizes can be customized to accommodate any space and vision. The table below lists some of the most common sizes. However, smaller or larger commissions can be created. Prices listed reflect a gallery wrapped (1.5”-2” deep) canvas with edges painted on all sides. If framing is a consideration, estimates can be provided based on framing choices. To start any commission project, a 50% deposit is required. The remaining balance is due after the painting is completed.
New paintings created for those in the Charlotte, NC area or a 3 hour driving radius are personally delivered by Eric. Delivery is included in the price of the commission. Completed commissions for people outside the 3 hour driving radius can be shipped worldwide. Please contact Eric (at eric@ericsoller.com) for custom shipping quotes. Large artworks are crated, well packaged and protected during shipping through a commercial shipping company. Smaller pieces that can be boxed are well protected, packaged in bubblewrap and shipped in a strong corrugated custom created box.
Eric’s paintings can be viewed virtually in your home before you decide to commission a new custom painting. With virtual room view, you can see how the size and the colors can fit into your space and style.
Simply send photos of the space you plan on displaying the painting in your home or office, along with measurements of a piece of furniture, window or doorway in the photos. This helps to refine sizing of the painting. Eric will create a realistic representation, to scale, of the painting in your space. If considering a particular painting style similar to an existing painting of Eric's work, Eric can mockup a view of your room based on your ideas. This tailor made approach lets you see how your commission will look, in your space before you make the purchase. This is a perfect service for commission inquiries showing how your vision can come to life!
Virtual room view is an exceptional way to visualize how Eric’s art transforms your space. You can confidently see how a new painting will effect your home and bring beauty to your walls.

HOW ARE CUSTOM COMMISSIONS PRICED?
Priced are based on $3.00 per square inch.
CAN COMMISSIONED PAINTINGS BE FRAMED?
Yes, Although pricing is based on an unframed gallery wrap painting with all the edges painted, Eric can work with you in picking an appropriate contemporary or floater frame that can accentuate your new commission in your home. Framing costs vary based on selection and are added to the base cost of the painting.
HOW MUCH WILL SHIPPING OR DELIVERY COST?
Delivery within a 3 hour driving radius is included in the cost of a new commission. Shipping charges vary based on the size of the painting and where it is being shipped. Feel free to contact Eric (at eric@ericsoller.com) to get a custom shipping quote.
IS A DEPOSIT REQUIRED TO START A NEW COMMISSION?
Yes, there is a 50% deposit, which is refundable before a project is started. A digital link using “Square” (the payment processor) will be sent and can be paid securely with a credit or debit card. The remaining balance is due when the painting is completed. Another link from “Square” will be sent via email or text.
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THE COMMISSION PROCESS?
Turnaround time can vary from 1-3 months based on what projects are currently ongoing and where on the wait list the new project falls. After a deposit is received, the client is added to the wait list. Eric works on commissions in the order they come in.
