Edward Middleditch

Artist, British, born 1923

The image shows an abstract pattern of irregular dark and light shapes across the canvas. The shapes resemble scattered leaves or clouds, with some looking like frozen liquid splatters. The arrangement can be likened to organic microorganisms or a cosmic map of stars in a dark void.
