The space in which an artist works is of paramount importance: the four walls, the light, the locale in which it can be found. As Ed Saye<\/a> puts it:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE Open Studios 2022 holds the intention of \u201ccelebrating studios, accessing knowledge, and supporting practice\u201d. Ed\u2019s been selected for #studioinview<\/a> and will join the international mentoring programme run by We, The Muse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ed shares how he likes \u201cto work in an ordered but stimulating environment with books, postcards, sketches etc around me while I work.\u201d <\/em>We think this NewBlood Art Master\u2019s<\/a> latest work showcases his strongest qualities, those the gallery has seen him develop over his career. These multi-layered paintings need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated, which is why we’re in talks to get them on show soon. As a reviewer of his 2017 exhibition wrote: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The distinctive feature of Ed Saye\u2019s paintings lies in what he does and doesn\u2019t contrast. On the one hand, human constructions are set against nature, modernity against decay, and mainstream culture against alternative society. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can read our previous feature on his monumental work \u2018Happy Hippy Home\u2019 in full here<\/a>. In this work: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The creaturely and the mystical, the alien and the terrestrial co-exist in a medley palette distinctive to Saye\u2019s works. From a distance, the composition thrums, muted by the harmonising of the colours; up close, the vividness of certain tones are apparent, a brighter note. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The painting isn’t busy, but rather, inhabits a quiescence drawn from the balanced forces of expectation and retrospection. Ed Saye describes his works as \u201ccontemporary visions of paradise lost\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n More about Ed Saye: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ed Saye has moved to a new studio and been awarded an artist support pledge.

To me an artist\u2019s studio is a kind of sacred space and I\u2019ve felt this way since visiting my grandfather\u2019s studio as a boy. It was a place of wonder and intensely interesting, where I experienced a sense of belonging. I would sneak in whenever we visited my grandparents\u2019 house.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ed\u2019s move from London to Winchester heralds a turning point in his career. His new studio is bigger, allowing him to work on several canvases at once. And Ed has just been awarded an artist support pledge<\/strong>. We are planning on bringing Ed Saye\u2019s work together for a show soon in his new creative centre of Winchester, Hampshire.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp.media.newbloodart.com\/2022\/07\/01103704\/untitled-study-for-streakers-blue_8d176168e69c41a9ffc07782af5f6a52.jpeg\")
