John Phillip Edstrand

“Drippin", 2006, Oil on Mdf board, 120x120 cm.

John Phillip Edstrand paints and sculpts strange blob-like objects. His painting include sculptural elements attached to the surface. Looking at a photo of his work, it is hard to determine which is painted and which is sculpture. The objects in his paintings hover in a black empty background; themselves sparkling in a wide range of “poisonous colors“. They resemble gobs of paint squirted from the tube, or chewed gum, or some long lost sea creatures never seen before. That’s the fun of these images; they are so foreign and peculiar. He also creates these alien specimens with digital media. His website is very sleek and nicely designed, and includes multiple views of his work.
