Edwards
Harvey Edwards is a celebrated artist who has won worldwide critical
acclaim from some of the nation's leading reviewers. The New
York Times wrote (with his) "…impeccable prints, Mr.
Edwards conveys the intensity of his involvement by closing in
on the telling details of a scene". Applause comes from
Art Business News, as well, reviewing Mr. Edwards as "the
master of his art who has the sensitivity to express true emotions
through powerful images which leave a dramatic and lasting impression".
At the age of ten, Mr. Edwards was given his first art lessons.
He was immediately fascinated by his ability to express feelings
and emotions through his medium and ultimately to create what
he now calls his LITHOGRAPHIC MONTAGE, which is the process
of created his image as parts of a puzzle. Each piece is
as important as the next. From the initial sketch to the final
printing, there are myriad's of steps in achieving the image
as a fine art print. Even on press, Mr. Edwards controls the
subtleties or intensity of color that brings the image to life.
After serving in the Air Force as base and aerial photographer
during the Vietnam War, Mr. Edwards attended the University
of Miami, majoring in the fine arts and developing his creativity
by studying painting and sculpture. By the end of the next
decade, he had been honored with 64 one-man shows. Originally
recognized for his compelling images of ballet dancers, his
work now explores the byways of a broader America.
"As we live in a world where the price of art makes it
unattainable for most to acquire, my philosophy is art must
be made accessible for all to own. For without art in our lives
what is left?" - Edwards.
