The four-panel mixed media painting Urge exemplifies late 20th-century eclecticism. With multiple patterns, found objects, and richly tactile surfaces, the painting invites a retrospective gaze rather than clamoring for attention. A notable feature of the painting is the organic forms that are composed and isolated, which beckon the viewer to perceive the painting as an interconnected whole rather than a mere aggregation of its parts. Among the more enigmatic creations of jonmarc Edwards, the paintbrush poised against the mesh fabric with a delicate drip of glass falling from its tip imbues the piece with a palpable sensuality. This element perhaps serves as the key to unraveling the enigmatic essence of this mysterious piece. Tragically, the painting is believed to be either lost or destroyed in a ruinous flood that ravaged a storage facility in 2007.
