About Me

My photo
Magnetic Island., Queensland., Australia
ARTIST PROFILE. (Edward Blum). I have painted and drawn since childhood, as a form of identity and purpose. It provides out side of family the single most powerful force predominating my life as far back as I can recollect and is symbiotic of my future. I look forward to this future which will be consumed pursuing art personally and professionally. As an artist I would like to capture the human condition, basic emotion and our essence. A freedom to look deeper than thought and express in a far more powerful medium, using color figuratively and in abstracted form. A universal language defined by the human condition. It is this place in the human psyche where what we visualize is interwoven not only by what we interpret that we see. But is also tainted by the shadow of our past. A distortion of our perceptions of reality as we believe it to be.. Ultimately it is here that my mind finds interest, and I foresee my artistic future evolving.

I am.

I am.
I am a illusion consisting of thoughts and words as to what I think I am.
Take that away and I am me, lacking of thought preconceived.
It is in which the world and all its surrounds have not been limited by names.
For they exist as being I.
I am a mirror trapped within the reflections of my own surrounds.
An obituary built off the foundations of my own past, in recognition of my future.
But where is my future without my past and my past with out my future.
For as I exist as the, "now" a collaboration of both.
For if  not for dreams reality would cry forth from the hearts of men, as a mere burden.
I am what I do.
Edward Blum. 1984.

Detail.

This painting has been my tormentor and dominator the last weeks. The more I look the further I see. It is to me is a universe within itself.

    aloha Edward - you have a vibrant sense of color. i like that. one of the reasons i like this work is because of the words you've linked to it - words and painting/visual art being intertwined for me. - aloha
