Ed Kluz is an artist, illustrator and printmaker for whom Romanticism, the Picturesque and antiquarian depictions of architecture have all had a hand in shaping his approach to image making. With a keen interest in the eccentric, uncanny and overlooked, it is the follies, lost country houses and ruins that have provided a constant source of inspiration for Kluz. For his first show with John Martin Gallery, he brings together a collection of large scale collages depicting both standing and lost iconic British buildings, from Joseph Paxton s 1851 Crystal Palace to the great Medieval Cathedral in Lichfield, each one studied in careful isolation, Kluz constructs a compelling and powerful evocation of the subject. Commissions include the Victoria and Albert Museum, Faber, Folio Society, John Murray Publishers, Little Toller Books and St Jude s fabrics. Ed Kluz was born in 1980 and grew up in Swaledale, North Yorkshire. He studied fine art at the Winchester School of Art between 1999-2002. He now lives in East Sussex.
