Early life and education[edit]
Benjamin Edwards was born in 1970 in Iowa City, Iowa.[1] He earned a Bachelor's degree from University of California, Los Angeles, studied toward a master's in painting at the San Francisco Art Institute, and a Master of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design.[2]
Work[edit]
Edwards is known for his paintings that employ appropriated imagery such as satellite maps, architectural blueprints or computer models as source material.[3][4][5] His 2004 painting Immersion, for example, used cartography to explore the impact of the highway system on the development of the American suburbs.[6] His 1998 work Starbucks: Seattle: Compression compressed all of the Starbucks stores in Seattle into one image.[5][7][8] In other works, he has created landscapes from images of fast-food restaurants, commercial signs, condominiums, shopping malls, convenience stores or corporate logos.[9][10]
