SYNTHETIC SECRET #060

"SYNTHETIC SECRETS" is a series of incongruities that looks at divergence and individuality in a machine-led world. Surreptitious glimpses of skin, shiny red vinyl, raw and visceral flesh — none of it physically existing; private, voyeuristic moments that never occurred.

Each image is, on one hand, a ubiquitous and process-driven product, and on the other a unique moment of creation. Clandestine and unsettling yet somehow beguiling, it is an aberration that can be as repulsive and vulgar as it is beautiful and ethereal.

Conceived through artificial intelligence from a combination of zeros and ones that existed for one fleeting moment before changing and mutating, the exact sequence never to be repeated. Delivered via a magical, intimate reaction of light and an emulsion of chemicals. The resulting print is an individual and unique union of a machine and the natural world.

This is your chance to own "SYNTHETIC SECRET 060" - a bold new series being released over 2023. Each one has been individually produced using original Polaroid printing processes, hand stamped and signed before being sealed into a Perspex block ready to hang.

I want my art to bring a smile to your room.
A laugh. Some fun. I want it to become a talking point about you, not me or it. Your sense of humour, your willingness to let go and have some fun, to not be afraid to poke your tongue out and bring some bold colour into your life.

Ed is a visual artist from Melbourne with a love for bold graphic shapes, colour and a minimal sense of story telling. Cynical, poppy and fun his art makes a bold statement with the sprit of a large scale print and the individuality of a canvas. Ed grew up in the UK where he trained in graphic design and multimedia in the early 90s. After working as a professional graphic designer in London he made the move to Melbourne in the late 2000's. He continues to work as an award winning art director and brings much of his love for simple, graphic shapes, balance and storytelling to his artwork.

"My work is born from the union between structured, clean, minimal design and shouty, brash advertising. Where geometry and balance meet movement and energy. I use colour and composition to create captured reflections of the world and emotions that surround and bombard us."
