This is Me, ©Ed Gendron 2022 (edition of 50)
An archival print / original artwork by Ed Gendron
This is a limited edition (of 50 total) by Ed Gendron. When they're gone - they're just gone.
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.
If you like this series, then check out some of my other "Pop Surrealist" photos/paintings in this series. As the Talking Heads advised us "Stop Making Sense".
