Some great new wood-based Will Edmonds work

Man of many talents Will Edmonds has some great new work on his site in the geometric shape of these colourful framed pieces and paintings on wood. There’s a childlike simplicity against a more grown-up restraint in the works, which draw you in with colour and keep you there with the deceptively intricate layers. The works were created for an exhibition entitled A Watery Line at The Tetley in Leeds in summer 2014, where he was also showing sculptures and ceramics.

The paintings on wood are so straightforward – just one colour on unfinished panels – but incredibly engaging, playing with negative space and eliciting responses that make us ponder over the shapes’ meanings. So far in our engaging with the work as a sort of pretty series of Rorschach test images, we’ve found Bowie, Watership Down and a bottom. But maybe we’ve been thinking about Kim Kardashian too much today.
