From an absolutearts.com review:
The work of Los Angeles based painter, Edem Elesh, finds itself in the murky waters of the viewer's unconscious.Fantastical, dream-like and dystopian, Elesh's imagery is set in our postmodern time, at an intersection where the subject matter of various sorts has been cut loose from it's origins and dropped onto the foreign occupied space of the canvas.With an irreverence and narrative approach to working, each subject has been abandoned and ultimately left to stake its claim in a new and unfamiliar territory.When asked about the conception and drive of an individual painting, Elesh straightforwardly replies that, "Everyday situations of existence" are always where his subject matter remains fertile.


Thanks for the notice Cheryl- See you on Sunday. Oh, by the way, for what it matters or not, that description was, I think, L.A.Times or L.A. Artcore, can't remember which. Appreciate the posting though and, to all you Arroyo Arts peoples, good luck for Sunday.
