Edward B Gordon

            Edward B. Gordon is a painter who creates small, daily paintings of intimate moments. He was born in 1966 and currently resides in Berlin. His paintings include beautiful cohesive colors and thick, visible brushstrokes which gives him a personal style. Many of his paintings include an exaggerated value of the shadows. Most of the paintings are very small at about 6” by 6”. The subject matter ranges from landscapes to portraits and even strangers on the street. His urban scenes and portraits can be called “en passant” – meaning to detect. Gordon’s paintings show scenes of Berlin in brief, passing moments. He is able to direct our attention to something that we would have never noticed or thought of as beautiful. Gordon has been painting everyday for the past seven years and has just reached past his 2,300^th painting mark! He is able to find his next painting by walking the streets of Berlin.
