Beach House

In this heavily textured composition, Edward applies his architectural training to the canvas, constructing a dense topography of intersecting grids and structural beams. Operating within the lineage of Abstract Expressionism, the artist wields sticks and palette knives to gouge subtractive marks through thick layers of vibrant orange, acid green, and deep teal impasto. This severe sgraffito technique reveals a bruised underlayer of dark azure, transforming the chaotic color field into a fragmented, tactile blueprint. By physically excavating the painted surface, Edward positions himself as a self-described "twenty-first-century primitive," aggressively scarring the canvas to record the history of his own physical action. The resulting artifact balances primal energy with rigid geometric logic, capturing the fraught architecture of contemporary culture in bold, sculptural relief.
