Steven Edson
The Art of the Automobile
Artist's Statement
“Form and function welded, bolted, and stitched together for speed, comfort, performance, and safety. My photographs of cars illustrate the exquisite precision of bent metal and chrome to conform to a designer's vision for the efficiencies of aerodynamics combined with the beauty of timeless style. I use the camera to highlight and celebrate the industrial precision of design in its abstraction and the transformation cars undergo in different light and environmental atmospheric conditions.” SE
Cars are a catalyst for people's earliest memories, from romantic dinner dates or trips to the store, to day trips across the region or cross-country adventures. People buy cars for personal and commercial uses, and for a few, the sheer thrill and enjoyment combined with the skills of racing to be the first to cross the finish line in the shortest amount of time.
Artist's Bio
Steven Edson continues to win numerous awards for his fine art photography and has been published in multiple web zines and print journals internationally. His work is currently on loan in various shows and museums around the United States.
Steve describes the complexity and vastness of people, land, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity. In his work, the photograph, constrained within the edges of the frame, offers the viewer the ability to explore and make sense of our shared sense of place from my very specific point of view. Steve Edson has been committed to working within the photographic medium on a daily basis for the past fifty years. His work is collected in both personal and corporate collections. Mr. Edson started photographing in the early 1970’s, shooting mostly black and white documentary street photography. After graduating from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a BFA, Mr. Edson went on to become a successful commercial freelance photographer, living in the Boston area working on assignments for regional, national and international clients for editorial publications, academic institutions, and for corporate advertising projects.
