ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Based on video footage taken with her iPhone. Angela captures a moment in time. A moment that none of the subject matter are particularly aware of. Crowds of commuters on their way to work on a busy London Bridge. An urban landscape capturing the throng of figures.The blurring of the figures represents the fast pace we view digital images

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.
