HIT THE NORTH ARTISTS 2025

ED HICKS

ENGLAND

Ed’s murals are unlike anything you've ever seen before. Large non-figurative works that evoke the sublime landscapes of the mid-gothic period. Think fire, brimstone, sunsets, and eruptions, all shot through with illumination. They're a reaction against the ubiquity of post-modern pop iconography.

In Ed's words, “The thing is, too much street and not enough art, beauty is not pretty... it's terrifying, you have to actually feel something, like... romanticism and stuff you know? Ok well there you go.”
