Internationally Acclaimed Artist • Live Performance Painter • Guinness World Record Recipient
Born in Montreal, Canada, Eric Waugh has become one of the most recognizable and collected contemporary artists on the scene today. With works gracing both private and corporate collections around the world, Waugh’s vibrant, emotionally charged paintings captivate collectors and art lovers alike.
A true creative force, Waugh is the Guinness World Record-holding artist behind “HERO”—the largest painting on canvas by a single artist in the world, spanning an epic 41,400 square feet. Created as a tribute to children in need, this monumental achievement reflects Waugh’s passion not only for art but for making a difference.
But Waugh’s magic isn’t confined to the studio—he takes his art to the stage, thrilling audiences across the globe with his LIVE painting performances. Fusing art and music, Waugh paints in rhythm with the beat, translating sound into color and motion, transforming blank canvases into bold, energetic masterpieces right before your eyes.
His unique ability to capture the spirit of music on canvas has led to onstage collaborations with an incredible lineup of performers including The Jacksons, Tony Bennett, Sheryl Crow, The Fray, Roger Hodgson (Supertramp), The Goo Goo Dolls, Donna Summer, Nelly Furtado, Sammy Hagar, The Doobie Brothers, Kool & The Gang, Jefferson Starship, and even the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra—to name just a few.
Waugh’s signature “POP FUSION” style is a vibrant explosion of color, line, and emotion. Using acrylics and mixed media on a black canvas, he builds each piece layer by layer in a visual symphony that evolves over 30–60 minutes. This isn’t just performance—it’s the culmination of over three decades of mastery unfolding live, brushstroke by electrifying brushstroke.
After a recent visit to the Dominican Republic, Waugh found himself deeply inspired by the island’s energy, beauty, and culture. So much so, that he’s now making it his permanent home—a new chapter that will infuse his art with even more rhythm, soul, and sunshine.
