A group of us mature ladies who attend art classes and regularly visit The Mall Gallery then lunch at St. Martin’s in the Fields, just happened upon your artwork on display there and were blown away by your powerful, bold and exciting illustration of the chaotic energy of today’s London. Gave us a lot of pleasure and a lot to talk about. Is there somewhere we can go to see more of your work?

I absolutely love Ed’s pictures – what an imagination, vision and incredible talent.

Had the pleasure to meet mr.Gray in person the other week down the mayflower. He’s a painter that I really admire and respect. As an old punk I’m always looking for action and movement in any kind of art and Ed won’t let me down.

I really like these paintings, especially the ones of the scenes in the City.

Thanks Judith in Chicago. I’d love to paint there one day. I love the ashcan school. And Archibald Motely Junior has been a big inspiration.

Lynne many thanks. I’ve studied Thomas H B and I like his work a lot and I’m glad I made your day. Your enjoyment of these scenes is a great motivator.

Enid, thank you yes Lowry is a constant presence in my mind. I had a good friend who met him and told me many stories. His was a lonely dedicated pursuit of his vision but I’m so glad he made that journey. I had a delivery job for a while and I once got to sit in the back of a van with a Lowry football scene. I was in awe. I’ve no family in the north now since my mum left for London in the 1950s but I do get to Yorkshire to walk the dales now and then.

Nicholas, thank you so much, my gallery can organise a catalogue for you. Info@gxgallery.com 02077038396 It’s from 2014 and is entitled ‘Rock of Eye’.

Chris, thank you. If you get the chance to visit George Dyer, Threadneedleman Tailors, in the Walworth Road he can make you a very fine suit and you can also see the original painting hanging in pride of place in his shop.

Tremendous and magnificent work: epic in scope, and finely choreographed. Please do keep us posted about the exhibition; may we expect a book or catalogue?

Brought to mind the working scenes of Lowry – in your response to your environs. Interesting to learn about your fish roots at Grimsby – working ports and muddy river estuaries are a great pull, I grew up in Goole, on the Yorkshire Ouse. Good to know your work is in demand and causing a stir!

What an astounding discovery! Although these paintings clearly stand on their own and speak in a totally unique and distinctive voice, I’d like to heap on more compliments by saying that they
have a similar energy to American muralist Thomas Hart Benton. The way this fine artist represents the teeming vitality of groups of disparate people is not only inspiring — but timely.
Totally compelling! Made my day.

This is beautiful work! I wish we had such a talent in Chicago. Best of luck to you.
