Current works: Mixed media on aluminum, beach towels, and more
Welcome to current works.
Some of this recent work is comprised of varying mixed media on aluminum panels. These surfaces lend a deep dimensional and “invisible/infinite” ground to the pieces; their semi-reflective quality acknowledges their immediate environs. Edem states that he has "...found no better way, to date, to tip my hat to “the void” that surrounds us in this “reality”. This work is the progeny of his current artistic working philosophy of “Process and Providence”; by creating a surface and focusing will and intent (process), he lays down the red carpet to providence. Included here are the favorites. Though many are collected, some are still available.
Many of these pieces focus on ongoing global weather manipulation/interference, and the forces that seek to control the populations of the world with this ultimately unacknowledged, secret, and subversive, weapon. The artist urges audiences to, at least, acknowledge this possibility; even if the concept seems far fetched.
His 2020 era mixed work celebrates the hopeful return to a former world paradigm; one in which freedom of travel, of speech, of spiritual pursuits, of autonomy, ruled. His work begs the question: Is a "semblance of safety" worth trading in our inalienable human rights and guaranteed freedoms for?
2022 and 2023 sees Edem's fine art work marrying his visual work with his music pursuits in KinderCrowdControl. One hand washes the other here. This seems a completely natural progression for him.
Edem's current opus (2025) is a return to the work that garnered him notice on the L.A. art scene. Mixed media on beach towels. During his formulative years spent immersed in the beach culture of California, beach towel branding was the norm; beach goers identified with particular brands, flying their "flags" in support of whatever messaging they wanted to be associated with. Edem alters these brands offering his own commentary on consumerism and commercialization, with his "punk-painterly" style and attitude.
