Ed Young, South Africa
About:
With an emphasis on conceptualism, Ed Young is a master of subversion and not afraid to take risks. He is best known for his various irreverent and, at times deliberately, politically incorrect and provocative pieces. Refraining from using ‘traditional’ media, Young’s practice remains challenging and varied. This may (or may not) include; found objects, text based works, video, performances, neon-lights, installations and sculpture – and sometimes painting.
