After the Flood

Greg Edmondson is an artist that I started exhibiting 20 years ago. His art, both sculpture and painting, is a personal vision of the natural world, filtered through and intertwined with science and mythology. This potent amalgam creates a unique and multi leveled reflection on the physical and ethereal worlds, and how those two collide with the human condition. This nexus is satisfying and reflective, challenging and beautiful. His new book, After the Flood, clearly illustrates the central themes that have preoccupied a passionate and truth seeking artistic expression of 40 years.

Since his terrific book Rivers and Beasts came out in 2017 Greg Edmondson’s work has grown lighter, unguarded and slightly childlike. This new book, After the Flood, is for folks who want to go on a trip to someplace not found on the map. Edmondson’s not wasting time repeating what’s expected and this collection gathers no moss.  Here the collection of Edmondson’s art, along with verse by a clutch of poets, form a versatile set of companions for the journey.
