Erica van Loon is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Through image, language and sound her work explores interconnections between the human and non-human body and their environments, creating space to approach and experience the boundaries between what lies inside and outside our bodies as porous.

She catches mountains with her bare hands, meditates on stress in rocks, peels off the sticky layers around your brain, pokes a finger into the valley between your hemispheres, zooms in on landscapes deep inside your underbelly and describes how to best position your behind when floating in free fall from high tree tops.

Van Loon graduated in Architectural Design at the ArtEZ University of the Arts and in Visual Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She subsequently attended a two year postgraduate program at the De Ateliers, Amsterdam (NL).

She regularly works abroad as artist in residence and exhibits internationally, among others at Klingt Gut, Hamburg (DE), Fondazione Baruchello, Rome (IT), Banff Center for the Arts (CA), NAIRS contemporary art centre (CH) I-Park Foundation (USA), LABVERDE Arts Immersion Program in the Amazon (BR), ARCUS Project, Moriya (JP), Teatro di Palazzo Grassi, Venice (IT) and P///AKT, Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Kunsthuis Syb (NL).

For her current project she is supported by Mondriaan Fonds, Cultuurfonds, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten.
