In Word of Fantasy, Chicago-based artist Edo presents new paintings that explore interpretations of fantasy, both physical and spiritual. After a turbulent childhood in which he lived in eight different foster homes, Edo had a revelation that he is an artist, a realization that changed his life forever. His art became a gateway to personal freedom and a means to controlling his destiny. He understood that he could make his fantasies reality and choose his own path. Ever since, he has been on a quest to heal and inspire others through his work. Colorful, imaginative and futuristic, his intensely patterned paintings pay tribute to Afrofuturism and NYC’s East Village scene of the 1980s, while at the same time feeling fresh and unfamiliar.
