Coinciding with Edgar’s first ever solo exhibition on view at Vellum LA through September 11th, the showcase features new works from the OBJECTZ series which explore the portrayal of ideas as evaporated forms of physical creations, and how they might materialize into reality. Through a metaphysical process that Jimmy coins “digital condensation,” the imagination solidifies as literal objects.

A continuation of the artist’s exploration into metaphysical (and literal) phases of matter, Edgar’s creations are conceptual sculptures materialized out of various everyday objects—ranging from beach balls and epoxy material, to Dyson blow dryers and hand dryers—against a gradient backdrop meant to simulate air current. Every gradient in the collection moves upwards to create a lifting sensation evoking evaporation and gaseous qualities.

To be oxidized is to undergo a reaction. Taken together, these works are meant to generate reactions in those who experience them while allowing us to ponder the inner workings of the creative mind and how, much like the naturally occurring processes around us, ideas move organically from abstract to tangible.

Playing with the materialization of objects, Jimmy Edgar creates conceptual art with exuberant colors, LEDs, inflatables, and sculptures that transcend initial appearance. Jimmy blurs boundaries—between the immaterial and hyper-materiality—demonstrating a unique perspective of the metaphysical. His visual work is most known throughout the internet as crypto-native digital images. In addition to solo works, Jimmy has worked alongside Lady Gaga, Vince Staples, SOPHIE, Charli XCX, Miguel, shl0ms & Pilar Zeta. You can find work in several of the most celebrated digital art collections including 3fmusic, c00l, Jeezy, Hypnopizza & NFTMuseum.art.
Catch Jimmy Edgar’s OBJECTZ series on view at 3rd Street Crossing, 888 N Vermont, Melrose & Spaulding, and Kurve LA, through August 31st, and learn more about the artist on his website.
