Neil Anthony Edwards
Neil Anthony Edwards, a New York-based artist born to Caribbean parents, transforms residential spaces with his evocative use of translucent color and unorthodox expressions, encapsulating the motto "Luxury begins with art." His diverse experiences, including a career in professional basketball and international travels, enrich his art, blending graphic and cinematic influences with a Pollock-esque connection.
Using canvas, oil, acrylic, gold leaf, metallic silver, and interior paint, Edwards bridges the astral and physical dimensions, touching on esoteric and religious aspects of the human psyche. His acclaimed work has been featured in galleries such as the Hamptons Fine Art Fair and Art Basel Miami, earning him six-figure sales and a distinguished reputation in the art world.
