Ed Lust art.
Ed Lust creates traditional & digital art in Aotearoa.
Welcome to my studio overlook, a window into my multimedia art practice.
My art is playful, obsessive, and quietly existential. I embrace absurdism and abstract visual communication. For two decades I have created and exhibited art shaped by my own queer and neurodivergent experiences.
My practice spans multiple disciplines and media.
In recent years I've been drawn back to painting experimentation. I'm currently constructing timber panels for paintings that I expect to sit with for some time.
My paintings develop through layering and overpainting, building depth slowly, often over weeks or years, and sometimes sanding most of it away.
Through devotional object making I am interested in exploring the limits and universalities of symbolism and colour expression.
In 2026 I am inspired by worship, dead-internet-theory, and the aesthetics of middle-class luxury.

I consider all collaborations and commissions, including site-specific and international work.
