Ed Saye
MFA, Slade, 2009 Ed Saye is an important visionary artist – attuned to the collective unconscious with almost prophetic sensitivity. His work has evolved with rare coherence since graduating in 2009. Figures moving through liminal light – half asleep or wide awake – new dawn or an apocalypse? Players caught between scripts. The colour hums between reverence and recoding, hyperreal, radiant – the saturation turned just past natural, where pigment behaves as energy. Studio In View Award winner 2022. “I make paintings of hippie-like dudes doing everyday things. These dramatic, fantasy scenarios, with highly saturated colours and dramatic light, are inspired as much by high art as videogame culture. The figures – mid-swing, mid-drink, idle – inhabit dreamy, fragmented worlds. They keep going, even when the meaning of what they're doing has thinned or disappeared. I'm interested in that persistence.” - Ed Saye

Concerned about buying a piece you haven’t seen in the flesh?

We don’t currently have a gallery space where you can view the work in person, though depending on where you’re based, a studio visit can sometimes be arranged. What we’ve found, overwhelmingly, over twenty-two years: when someone falls for a piece on screen, the real thing is more, not less. Colour, surface, scale, presence. It works that way around. It’s why, across two decades, our returns have been minuscule.

But rest assured: if it isn’t right when it arrives, it can be returned within fourteen days.
