Welcome to the website of Ed Bayliss
Hello and welcome... My name is Ed, and I'm a painter currently based around Forest Hill / East Dulwich in South East London. The works on display date from 2003 to the present.
Although primarily a figurative artist, I aim to show my figures and landscapes in ways that often merge with the abstract. My portfolio consists largely of pieces in oil on burlap and canvas, although I also work in chalk, oil pastel and charcoal. I often utilise very dark but warm colours, and build in layers until I feel as though I have achieved the desired effect and atmosphere. I am always keen to experiment with different techniques and styles, pushing myself in new directions, and out of my comfort zone.
After studying Fine Art at Cumbria College of Art & Design and Lincoln University, and graduating in 2000, I took a bit of a break from art and concentrated more on my music, but slowly returned to my first love of painting.
I hope you enjoy the paintings on display and I welcome comments and opinions, whether positive or negative, but always constructive! If you would like to contact me, either to ask any questions or buy / commission a piece of work, then please leave your details and I will get back to you as soon as I can wash the paint off my hands...
