“As is almost always the case in my work, these recent canvases are not ‘landscapes’ in the traditional sense, by which I mean that they aren’t intended to portray a specific place. I begin each piece by using photographic references (sometimes several for each painting) to establish a ‘real’ sense of space but as the paintings progress I abandon the photos and begin painting instinctually and intuitively. It’s only at this point that the images really start to work for me. Sometimes they don’t stray too far from the initial composition, and sometimes they evolve quite dramatically to become something altogether different in composition or mood. My current painting method makes use of frequent building-up and scraping-back of the wet paint layers. This technique allows for a good deal of accidental mark-making, and adds depth and movement to the images. Scraping back can also blur much of the detail, however, so I have found myself utilizing more and more frequently the ‘flashes’ that often appear in my work. These marks that float on the surface of the paintings serve to grab the viewer’s eye and pull the entire image into focus.”

Canada
David Edwards was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1969. He has lived in Jersey, Channel Islands and Vancouver, BC, and is currently living and working in Montréal, Québec. He began his career as a graphic designer, but in 2000 began painting full-time. Focusing primarily on the landscape for many years, Edwards has recently revisited his first love, figure painting. His figurative images deal with issues of identity, and look not only at how we perceive ourselves, but how we believe we are perceived by others. In most of the figurative pieces the subject’s face is covered or obscured. These ‘anti-portraits’ at once disguise and reveal the subject’s identity. The artist has won several awards, and his work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections in Canada, Great Britain, Europe and the United States.
