Original painting in oil on panel.
"This piece is from an ongoing series of paintings that explore themes of longing, nostalgia and the sublime. They are painted from postcards and photos of happy people and happy places with the aim of reinventing the image as an ambiguous, psychological space."
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.
