Edward Epp

Canadian artist, Edward Epp, has painted for over 40 years. He has a B.F.A. and M.A. in Studio Art, as well as a M.Ed. in Counselling. For the last two decades, he has captured the spirit of BC’s coasts. His lyrical paintings reflect the landscape, the people and the icons of Prince Rupert, Haida Gwaii, and the South Islands. His art has been widely acclaimed and shown throughout Canada and internationally.

“For me, it goes beyond the physical resemblance of landscape to the inner, fully felt-poetic dimension. There is a critical urge to transcend the predictable. Beyond the mundane chores of commerce that I must endure like everyone else, a requirement to give form to the intuitive and the ideal beckons. In my art, this is concretized through my search to push the medium beyond the known and sure, to move into a ‘fresh zone’ where I haven’t previously traveled.”
