Original painting in oil on wood panel.
"These figures are taken from vintage postcards of motel swimming pools. They are placed in a more ambiguous environment; a large, swelling sea, potentially threatening, where they float on what look like lilos and rubber rings but could also be rafts or inner tubes."
Ed Saye’s paintings hold the strange beauty of a world still running its rituals after the meaning has shifted. Figures walk, gather, hold small suns in their hands, unaware of how altered the air has become. The colour hums at a frequency between reverence and re-coding - radiant, hyperreal, irresistible - the saturation dial turned just past natural, where colour starts to behave as energy instead of pigment. His work has evolved with rare coherence, each canvas reorganising itself from within, as though the paint were recalibrating to each new atmosphere - the pigment edging toward another register entirely.
