LEONARD EDMONDSON's work is based on Abstract Surrealism. Using both bold
colors and a full tonal range of black and white, Edmondson creates imagery with a
dynamic sense of movement. Perhaps best known as a printmaker, Edmondson also
employs painting and watercolor, imbued with the same sense of expressive kineticism.
EMERSON WOELFFER also uses the vocabulary of surrealism through automatic
drawing in his early art. Woelffer imagery shifts dramatically by 1960 though the
immediacy of collage and at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop through larger scale
works, and by revealing the pure expressiveness of the torn line. Through the shared
vocabulary of abstract surrealism and expressive gesture, both Edmondson and Woelffer
create imagery that is compelling.
