Film noir 1. Photograph - Limited Edition of 2

Ed "Big EZ" Izro (1965) is a photographing artist based in New York, NY, United States. Since the development of digital photography my camera and computer have become my main tools for creation. Observing the urban world, i am attracted by the abstract, rhythmic poetry of buildings. I use my camera like a paintbrush, to create beautiful images of different architectural forms. With my work, I allow everyone to see the true and outstanding beauty of brick-and-stone creations. I hope that with my photographs, people will be able to further extend their appreciation of urban architecture. My work has moved through variations on a theme of movement and color. Whether the camera moves or I move or the landscape moves it is all the same. Colors, moving blending, and soaking into one another create a sense of playfulness, the feeling you get when the wind is in your hair on a bright sunny day. More and more I wonder if there is any end to how one can capture the colors, the lines, and the essence of a place. I try to tell extraordinary stories of diverse cultures and communities through a fashion-inspired lens. Through both intimate and expansive perspectives, I try to reveal different subjects in vivid detail to share the world’s beauty. But New York City is my true inspiration. The colors, the textures, the wildness of this place, and the history are all intertwined in a fascinating, and often bewildering melting pot of sensation that forces me to make art. I have been always receptive to modern art, especially super-realistic, surrealist, hyperrealistic, and minimalist forms, which is very often reflected in my works. My artwork is a manifestation of my interest in abstract geometry and the ways in which its forms can be used to explore and express the complexities of our world. My practice is driven by a desire to create works of art that are both visually appealing and conceptually engaging. I strive to use color, line, and shape to create a sense of balance and harmony within my pieces and to evoke a sense of curiosity and contemplation in viewers. By using abstract geometry to explore and express the human experience, I hope to create works that are meaningful and thought-provoking. My inspiration comes from a variety of sources, including nature, music, and everyday life. I am passionate about creating pieces that are timeless and impactful and that will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
