In this exhibition, Eddy delves into concepts of transience and solitude, exploring universal themes of mortality and isolation. His newest body of work serves as a personal reflection on impermanence and the inevitable end of life. Eddy achieves a harmonious balance between defined lines and open spaces, as well as vibrant and muted colors, in abstracted scenes of contemplation. Through a diverse palette of media, including oil, Flashé, ink, and bronze, his artworks pulsate with dynamic textures, rich pigments, and intimate narratives.
