His work explores themes of identity, community, love, mortality and belonging. Trained as a photographer, Edmonds works with film, sculpture and text to interrupt the seriality of the photographic medium and challenge image legibility. His recent solo and two-person exhibitions include One, Maximilian William Gallery, London, UK (2024); Natural World, Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, OH (2022); John Edmonds: A Sidelong Glance, FOAM Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2022) and Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY (2020-2021) and Between Pathos \u0026amp; Seduction, Company Gallery, New York, NY (2019). Edmonds is the recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Award (2023-2024), The FOAM Paul Huf Award (2021) and the UOVO Prize (2020). Noted for his highly formalist photographs, in which he focuses on the performative gestures and self-fashioning of young Black men on the streets of America, his work is in numerous public and private collections, which include the Brooklyn Museum, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA, the Rubell Collection, the National Gallery of Art, the RISD Museum, the J.

The artist began this body of work in 2016, capturing strikingly formalist images of subjects whose identities are obscured by the head coverings of their sweaters. Cast in direct sunlight and against stark backgrounds, the anonymous figures conjure notions of safety, injustice, and empathy in America. The artist notes, “I use photography and film to question truth. From an art historical perspective, I am interested in challenging our relationship tradition and convention. What makes an image a portrait? How can we use images to disentangle perception from reality?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJohn Edmonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eUntitled (Hood 16)\u003c\/em\u003e, 2026\u003cbr\u003e22 x 15.3 inches\u003cbr\u003eArchival pigment print\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 10 with 6 AP + 2 PP\u003cbr\u003eSigned and numbered by the artist \u003cbr\u003e$3,500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative to support the Brooklyn Museum, Edmonds adds, \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Brooklyn Museum gave me my first solo show in 2020.
