Ed Gebski is an artist from Amsterdam (born 1959 in Heerlen).
His monumental canvasses are created in a darkroom where he works with silver-nitrate/oil paint.
Only when the paintings are exposed to light do they reveal their colour and presentation.
This process is akin to the development of photographs.
The paint emulsion is removed after the painting process and then transparent colours remain on the canvas. In 1994 Gebski won the first prize at the Dutch Prix de Rome.
His work also was part of the exposition "Tot zo ver / Up to now", Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam at the end of December 2003.
