Original painting in oil on canvas.
Is it daybreak?
Dusk?
or apocalypse?
A midnight sun glows - black. A crazy golf course, uncoordinated figures moving with their clubs in different directions.
Two low, round orbs - are they suns? Artificial lights? It’s difficult to tell.
Someone’s making a barbecue. And down on the lawn, under the shade of the trees is that someone doing tai chi?
And then there’s the little house close to the shore under that block of black light pouring from what should be the sun - or is it the moon?
A black hole where radiance should be… and the little goat. Just… there. This one feels like a masterpiece to me - totemic in the way it captures collective consciousness at this threshold. A lightning conductor for the divide: those still asleep, running the old scripts as the old world order collapses, and those already awake - choosing love, nature, community. The new dawn is here.

Ed Saye is an important visionary early career artist - attuned to the collective unconscious with almost prophetic sensitivity, the way we realise retrospectively the best artists always have been.
His work has evolved with rare coherence since graduating in 2009. Now we stand in the world he’s been describing to us. Figures moving through liminal light - half asleep or wide awake - new dawn or an apocalypse? Players caught between scripts. Some running the old rituals, unaware of how profoundly the ground has shifted. Others quietly sitting alone with the trees. The colour hums between reverence and recoding, hyperreal, radiant - the saturation turned just past natural, where pigment behaves as energy. This momentous threshold, held in liminal light.
