Edwin Wade - Mid Century Art

An artist living and working in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m an avid collector of mid century modern furniture and decorative arts since 1990, Big Band,Lounge music fanatic, WWII buff, retro renovating, Atomic Ranch owning, Schlitz drinking mad man. My work is devoted to the arts, ideas, ideals, architecture, aesthetics & imagery of the mid-century era. All items are handmade by myself. A variety of mediums are explored with the emphasis on printmaking. I seek to produce Abstract works similar in tone, form and color to what actually existed during this periodin addition I utilize juxaposition and humor in a loty of my more graphic work. My inspirations are; Red Scare, Atomic Era, the 1950′s, Highballs and Hijinx, animation, WWII, Graphic & Industrial design, DaDa, surrealism, etc. But more importantly my influences and subject matter are the source material that drove these aesthetics. The cataclysm of two world wars and the splitting of the Atom, bringing originality and emotion to my work. Thanks for looking. Cheers Edwin
