About The Artwork

The painting contains the finest fluorescent pigments and is triple UV varnished. The cure time for the varnish before packing and shipping is 3 weeks, therefore this piece will become available from from 10th May 2023. The idea is that the motif is a non specific, self-portrait ‘emoji’, able to float, react, be affected by any painted scenario or experience.. A way of making the personal universal.. and a development of the ‘Startled’ series concept from the last couple of years: “the mind floating through the world, while the world floats through the mind”.. I’ve used a vivid magenta in my paintings for years, and coincidentally, ‘Viva Magenta’ is the Pantone color of the year for 2023. I love what they say about it… “Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, vibrates with vim and vigor. It is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative. This year’s Color of the Year is powerful and empowering. It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement. PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta welcomes anyone and everyone with the same verve for life and rebellious spirit. It is a color that is audacious, full of wit and inclusive of all..”

Mike Edwards is an established artist well known for his portraits made of text. New bodies of work show Edwards evolving from his recognised style, developing an increasingly sophisticated approach to painting. Some works retain a typographic aesthetic, whilst others incorporate painted neon, abstract expressionism and traditional landscape painting to produce a complex and energetic dialogue between the old and the new. Edwards has exhibited extensively, including three solo shows, and his work is in collections around the world, including those of Sir Bradley Wiggins, Imelda May, and the late publisher Felix Dennis. David Bowie signed Edwards’ unique typographic portrait of Aladdin Sane - which went on to raise phenomenal funds for charity at auction. His portrait of Lord Attenborough is on permanent display at The Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts, University of Sussex. Edwards' work was also included in Gilles Peterson's book 'Broadcasting in a Pandemic', a cultural documentation of a year in lockdown. An exceptional painter, Edwards started out as a professional artisan artist before developing his own body of work. Projects have included a stage set for rock band Blur and producing commissioned artworks for Bacardi, Budweiser and Urban Outfitters. Edwards continues to push boundaries in new paintings currently in progress in his studio in central Brighton.
