Steve Edwards

“Steve Edwards is best known for his large London cityscapes. His original prints combine processes including linocut, lino etching and monotype, and as a result are hard to pin down; they have a crisp photographic quality that hits you on first glance, but take a closer look and you see textures, marks and intriguing colour that give his work mesmerising depth. Steve uses Lino etching and monotype to add painterly, expressive marks to his moody skies, while the crisp edges of silhouetted buildings are created using traditional linocut.”
