The artist says of this series: "Fascinated by the resurgence and success of Pixel art that has taken the NFT scene by storm I was interested in incorporating this simple yet powerful style into a new print series. As a new way of graphic computer processing in the early eighties the simplicity of the lines, colours and images you can create using an 8-bit Pixel approach lends itself extremely well to creating bold and iconic images for a printing medium.

Charles Edgar is an emerging artist based in South East London. Edgars’ art is characterised by prints that focus on striking portrait imagery, bold colours and a mix of editions that ironically and comically comment on cultural and social affairs.
His first piece ‘IMADEYOUANAUTHENTICPRINTBECAUSEILIVEINHACKNEY’ sparked a move from stencilling and has developed into a comprehensive collection of screen prints. A collection that has found its way into galleries around London. With no formal art education Edgar started printing in a studio in Hackney and now prints out of his home studio in Croydon.
We love how Charles creates minimalist yet punch artworks that are full of character. Each of his works has their own story to tell. Drawing from popular culture, Charles' art is cheeky yet clever - his familiar motifs make each piece instantly recognisable and relatable. His simple line work and vibrant colour scheme helps to make his artworks stand out from the crowd. Witty and visually stunning, Charles' art is a visual treat.

AR: What was the inspiration behind your new release / your current body of work I try not to focus on one specific style but rather a body of work that encapsulates a mixture of comical statements, popular culture and aesthetic works focusing on bold colours and imagery. This set of releases is made up of a haze concept I explored by placing items behind a hazed lit screen, a piece looking at the identity of hoods and cloaks and a piece inspired by our lack of being able to mix due to Covid-19 (Dogging).

What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece. The edition size can vary widely between artworks, however most of the time our artists create editions in small numbers ranging from 10 to a few hundred.
