Edward Ficklin

Story is the heart of all of my artistic endeavors. We are composed of stories of everything we’ve seen, felt, heard. The real and the not so real. In fact, the not-so-real may be truer than the truth.

Scroll on, my darlings, and sample some of my visual tales.

Painting

My paintings focus on a particular brand of gay masculinity: the beefcake. Along with a representational approach, I also use (mostly) traditional media.
