Based on video clips taken with an iPhone the image of commuters in the city of London an urban landscape The composition creates the feeling of being in the crowd swept along by the people. A portrait of the city. The painting is oil on a canvas. I hope the painting falls somewhere between figurative and abstract.The palette is reduced to almost monochrome, black and white with just a hint of colour. It almost has the feel of a silhouette.

I am a painter living in the UK. I have a studio at Town Quay Studios in Shoreham, West Sussex. In the twenty-first century it is always interesting to see a fine artist conflating traditional materials with new technology. This is the case in the work of Angela Edwards whose prime medium is oil paint on board or canvas and sometimes charcoal on paper, with the methodology of her subject matter coming directly from digital media, such as video, streamed images and often the use of her iPhone. Angela’s central thesis is connected to a notion of ‘home’, a theme explored from many different perspectives and one she continually returns to. This ranges from captured images of people returning home from their work environments to the movement of people across continents, namely refugees and asylum seekers – all the representation of people in her work are seeking the solace of home and belonging. The representation of people moving through defined spaces, also gives focus to the notion, that while we weave in and out of the spaces of our daily life, there is often a lack of consciousness of critical issues that are occurring in the larger world, thus a certain alienation. This is evident through the digital layering and shadowing of the images, where the ‘real’ is transformed, into a type of hyper-real, namely, a simulacrum, where a work is not presented as a copy of the ‘real’ but becomes, via the transformed image, a truth in it own right.
