Edward Kingsbury III

Edward Kingsbury III, based in Keene, New Hampshire, is a self-taught artist making large abstract acrylic paintings, intricate drawings, and printed digital work of abstract studies in color and pattern. For Kingsbury, making art is an expression of the artist’s practice of prayer while he works. The resulting painting is Kingsbury’s abstract representation of God. Kingsbury’s drawings are done by pen in India ink on watercolor paper as well as other surfaces such as canvas paper. The tiny interlocking lines create shapes, while leaving much white paper, then making the drawing itself into negative space. The artist’s acrylic paintings reflect a similar intricate line-made structure, now layered with opaque and transparent color in an all-over application creating a luminous woven surface. Kingsbury’s digital art often starts without a photograph, simply colors, shapes, and lines manipulated with tools and filters, layer upon layer, flattened on photo editing software.
