Edward earned his BA in Fine Art Painting from Norwich University of the Arts in 2011. Over the past decade, he has maintained a studio practice operating between Norwich and London.
B. Herts 1990
Rooted in abstract painting, Edward’s practice explores non-figurative themes designed to foster viewer engagement. By employing a diverse palette including acrylics, oils, and inks, he encourages organic growth within each piece, navigating the inherent tension between intentional, handmade marks and the fluid, reactive nature of the medium.
This process serves as an investigation into the materiality of nonrepresentational art, balancing visual harmony with physical texture. Edward allows intuition to play a pivotal role, guiding the emotive content of the work. In this practice, the reactionary properties of the paint are as fundamental as the deliberate strokes applied by hand.
Consequently, the paintings evolve into "living" structures; their final forms are not the result of absolute human control but rather emerge through a dynamic interplay between the artist's intention and the raw qualities of the medium.
