Born in Yorkshire in 1968, Edmund Chamberlain is best known for his landscapes and still lifes which capture the beauty inherent to everyday objects. He explains that "it is the rendering of the small forms; the shape and scale of a branch, the line where trees meet sky, the spiral twist of a dried leaf; in such a way as not to distract from the whole picture that propels my daily work."
He has been awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award, the Pollock Krasner Foundation Award, in addition to the prestigious ING Purchase Prize at the annual Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, in 2005
