Artist Eddie Fordham

BIOGRAPHY 1994-1997 University of Plymouth (Exeter Campus) BA (Hons) Fine Art. 2.1 & Gained the award for the most outstanding mature student. 1992-1994 Plymouth College of Art & Design. Btec National Diploma (Distinction) General Art & Design Originally a mason I studied as a mature student a Btec General Art & Design at Plymouth followed by a BA(Hons) Fine Art at Exeter (University Of Plymouth) where I studied under John Virtue. I have been a full-time artist for the last 3 years and have a studio on the edge of Dartmoor. Statement Gaston Bachelards book ‘The Poetics of Space” has been a catalyst for my work for many years. The book takes us from cellar to the roof space and explains how our perceptions of buildings shape our thoughts, memories and dreams. A sense of place is important to me, and the response, in paint, is ultimately born out of integrity of that place. I subscribe to the honesty of seeing and the integrity of my application of paint. Ultimately, I use the vehicle of landscape and the language of paint to express a perspective of the world I experience .
