Eadweard R. York
Eadweard r. York b. Omaha, Nebraska - Twentieth Century
is an American-born director, producer, cinematographer, photographer, actor, artist and visionary most noted for his compelling, iconic images of a society on the verge of destruction.
Eadweard has constantly pushed the boundaries of conceptual, avant-garde art as an infamous, underground outsider whose distinctive, surreal, pop-punk-dada style is easily recognizable, very powerful, and quite visionary. Eadweard's legendary art, public-reaction performances, and installations have been quite influential, sometimes confrontational, always at the forefront in the art world.
His powerful street photographs documenting the disenfranchised are in stark contrast to the numerous celebrities, bands, musicians and models who have appeared in front his lens, but whether affluent or impoverished, the images are stripped of all pretense and not easily erased from the mind - the work of one keenly aware of the essence of his subject matter.
