Eli Decker (b. 1998) is a painter based in Austin, TX, whose work embodies the ethos of technoromanticism-a fusion of traditional artistic materiality with the spectral allure of the digital age. With a BA in Studio Art and Computer Science from Colby College, Decker explores the intersection of analog craft and digital aesthetics, creating dreamlike atmospheres where the digital sublime meets the raw intimacy of organic forms.
His work examines themes of modern isolation and the transformative power of technology, reimagining the internet not as a fleeting stream of data but as a tangible, almost sacred landscape shaped by memory, longing, and connection. Decker has exhibited at Contracommon, Goodluckhavefun, Co-Lab Projects, McLennon Pen Co., the Austin Studio Tour, and Austin Bouldering Project.
