Benjamin Edwards, like many other contemporary artists, plunders the industrialized world for its strip malls, gas stations and big box stores and processes them into symbols and icons that he then layers into complex landscapes, misleadingly futuristic. But the future is now, and Edwards’ composites are taken from umpteen digital photos of present-day artifacts. The pictures are superimposed, details are removed or re-ordered, and a template is computer-generated before Edwards uses all these elements to embark upon time-consuming acrylics.
