Eds Craft
North West London artist Ed Sumner has spent over two decades capturing the dynamic spirit of the city, particularly through his celebrated "Big Skies Over London" series. His classically trained technique, primarily in oil on canvas, allows him to vividly portray the dramatic interplay of light and atmosphere above the urban landscape. Unlike traditional depictions of London landmarks, Sumner focuses on the expansive skies, using bold, vibrant hues to capture their fleeting beauty and imbue familiar cityscapes with drama and immediacy.
Beyond his skyscapes, Sumner also depicts the quieter beauty of local green spaces like Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill, showcasing a more contemplative side. What distinguishes Sumner is his engaging connection with his audience through his online presence, offering insights into his process. He is also known for his innovative "Cheese & Wine Painting Club," which fosters a relaxed and accessible approach to art.
Sumner's contribution lies in his ability to present a fresh and evocative perspective on London, capturing its energy through his vibrant palette and expressive brushwork. By focusing on the often-overlooked beauty of the skies and his local environment, he offers a unique and compelling vision of the iconic city, solidifying his position in its vibrant art scene.
