Crazy Love II
Original framed artwork by Ed Gendron
This is a limited edition (print #1 out of 40 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone. Outside dimension is approx 20x26
(watermark is for display purposes only)
This picture is part of an yet-unnamed series. I loved the idea of finding a box of vintage photos from some other reality or universe. When I began this series, I was very interested in surrealism as well as making something purposefully irreverent. A lot of art, (including some of mine) has lofty concepts - but this series really just revels in the absurd. Sometimes it's pretty, sometimes it's grotesque. Sometimes I worked with a lot of "platitudes" or tropes. I began this series in oil painting. But it has expanded to digital photography and found images as well.
If you've ever been in love, (and you likely have) then I'm certain that you can relate to this one. This artwork depicts two lovers in a passionate embrace. It's a timeless subject matter and it's been pictorialized by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Rene Magritte, Edvard Munch, and way too many others, to list here. I thought that the emotional pull of a lover is powerful and addictive, like the way a sugary breakfast cereal is to a kid on a Saturday morning. So, I portrayed the lovers, not only enveloped in an environment of sugary cereal, but they themselves have become "Fruit Loops" for each other. The colors of this artwork are saturated and rich. Everything about it screams "passion".
This image originated in a found, vintage, B/W photo... but it has certainly become something else. This photo was (obviously) reworked and hand colored. If you like this kind of work, then check out some of my other "Pop Surrealist" photos/paintings in this series. As the Talking Heads advised us "Stop Making Sense".

Balloonhead '22
Original artwork by Ed Gendron
This is a limited edition of 45 (Print #6 of 45 total) Outside dimensions 12x16.
This picture is part of an yet-unnamed series. I loved the idea of finding a box of vintage photos from some other reality or universe. I began this series in oil painting. But it has expanded to digital photography and found images as well.
This photo used to simply be a man proudly standing on a porch. I've dramatically reworked and hand colored it.
The artwork has evolved in to a flirtatious interaction between "Balloonhead" and the surrounding sensuous warm fleshy eyes. As you can tell, He's "caught the eye" of some of them. The lavender "stairs" seem to be bored with the whole interaction. Perhaps it happens far too often to be notable.

Twin Engine Plane
Original artwork by Ed Gendron
edition of 85, Print # 4/85
Although I'm a classically trained artist, I've always been interested in naive or folk art. "Twin Engine Plane" is from a series of watercolors I made that were very dreamlike and stream of consciousness. When I'm creating these, usually the first thing after waking, nothing is too strange, nothing is "off the table". And I'm often surprised by what takes shape.

Nice Night for a Stroll

Abandoned Money Tree Farm
Original framed artwork by Ed Gendron, Print #1/40
Original B/W image, hand coloring, digital elements
This is a limited edition (of 40 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone. Outside dimension is approx 22x28

Of course this one was very intricate, the landscapes usually are. But it was a lot of fun to create. Loved the idea of a money-tree farm that had fallen on tough times.
THIS IS ME
Original framed artwork by Edwin Gendron
This is a limited edition (of 40 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone. Outside dimension is approximately 20x28
This picture is part of an yet-unnamed series. I loved the idea of finding a box of vintage photos from some other reality or universe. I began this series in oil painting. But it has expanded to digital photography and found images as well.
This photo was probably sent from a soldier to a proposed sweetheart or pen pal. He even included the handwritten "This is Me" athe the top. But of course, I've dramatically reworked and hand colored this photo into something with new meaning. Though I made no attempt to fix the photo border. The finished artwork retains all the damage that it sustained throughout the years.
This artwork is dominated by the handwritten "This is Me" in the the top border. However, due to some kind of digital glitch, we, the viewers, aren't able to even determine "what" the person in the photo is...much less "who".
Some unmistakable glitch in this reality has occurred and now we all must try to adapt to the "new normal". Meanwhile, the person in the photograph seems yet unaware that this has happened and sits patiently for us to react.
the Unbearable Lightness of a Studio Portrait
Original framed artwork by Edwin Gendron
This is a limited edition (of 40 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone. Outside dimensions approx 20x26

This image originated in a found, vintage, B/W photo, a studio portrait of a young man with a cleft palate. His identity was, and still is, unknown to me. I dramatically reworked and hand colored this photo to create something new.
I thought of this pic as a high school portrait from some other reality. The clouds in the background are anything but natural. They reflect some universe that more closely resembles "the Matrix" than our own. We know this, because they have not fully formed ("rezzed") just yet. They remain in an in-between stage, somewhere between existing and not existing. What is "real" in this portrait is up for debate. But what is undeniable is the gaze of the young man who not only has a cleft palate, but a cleft head to match. His one eye stares intently at us, the viewer. Is he asking us to set things right? The emoji pin in hs lapel implies a naive positivity that's at odds with his environment and his intense gaze. Perhaps its from better times and now it simply highlights the absence of such notions.
An Error Occurred While DIsplaying the Previous Error
Original framed artwork, by Edwin Gendron
This print is a limited edition (of 40 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone. Outside dimensions approx 22x28

This image originated in a found, vintage, B/W photo, a farmer and his horse walking down a path to tend to the cornfield. But of course, I dramatically reworked and hand colored this photo to create something new. The electronic billboards highlight an electronic error which seems to repeat itself into infinity. Nevertheless the farmer and horse, heads down, seem blissfully unaware on this sunny day.
