Hi, not sure if I’m through to Ed Gray!!??

If so, Wd, are you doing another exhibition? Missed this one and it looked brilliant.

How can I check out your work?

Cheers

Ed Gray is a wonderful observer of everyday life who knows how to summarise these moments in great, fantastic paintings. I am such an observer myself.

I even find myself as an actor in one of his pictures: the lonely caller for PEACE on the edge of a police operation, who hardly gets through with his message even with a megaphone…

Love & Peace

THIS is a banquet! I have looked through, top to bottom, several times over — and am so impressed and enthralled with the vivid story-telling here. Not to mention, flawless composition — this artist is choosing to include SO much into his work, yet he is so discreet about how the characters “talk” to one another, throughout each panel. We, the viewer, are introduced to each individual (dare I say, each interaction between the VARIOUS individuals…….) and yet each painting is a skillfully orchestrated universe. A wealth of humanity in each panel – the abundance is breath-taking — but the hierarchy in each composition is resolved so lovingly. I liked noticing the spaces “in between” the figures as well. Each persona intrigued me — Santa dozing, the couples coupling, the staunch cops, the sunburnt child (ouch!), the over-eaters, the intrepid cyclist whizzing by, everything.

Stunning!

Thank you Karen. Those three artists mean a great deal to me. Jacob Lawrence and Archibald Motely too. Please come to the exhibition if you are able
