About CV

About Stanley Edmondson

Stanley Edmondson (b. 1962, Pasadena, CA) is a Los Angeles based artist whose singular ceramic based practice is deeply influenced by his close relationships to artists and mentors over the years such as Peter Voulkos, Michael Frimkess, John Mason, and his late father, Leonard Edmondson who was the Chairman of the Design Department at Otis Art Institute during California’s revolution in clay sculpture. Working predominantly with homemade clay, Edmondson embraces the Bauhaus practice of weaving craft with fine art and the technical challenges of fabrication. Edmondson’s works are reminiscent of the California Funk Art Movement, but take deeper inspiration from 1960s-70s comics and anime – this is especially true for his figurative works that share a semblance to the Japanese cult classic, “Gigantor,” in which a giant robot is built for war but transforms into a guardian of peace.

In recent years, Edmondson has aided in the practices of contemporary artists Roger Herman, Ruby Neri, and Kenny Scharf. His works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions at SEA VIEW, Los Angeles, CA, (2023); Nicodim Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2021); Sebastian Gladstone, Los Angeles, CA (2020); Lefebvre et Fils, Paris, FR (2018); and South Willard, Los Angeles, CA (2017). Stanley Edmondson is represented by Nicodim, Los Angeles / New York and SEA VIEW, Los Angeles.
