He has used a Surrealist-influenced approach, taking ordinary objects and presenting them in an unexpected way. At the top centre of the picture is a starfish painted as if it is made of stone. This is flanked by a necklace-like string of cork floats and a green glass float suspended in a net. The sharp-edged forms and lack of texture give the scene the quality of a dream; ); Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums

Marine Set, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking artwork by Edward Alexander Wadsworth. This tempera on panel print showcases the artist's unique approach to marine still-life paintings during the 1930s. Influenced by Surrealism, Wadsworth presents ordinary objects in an unexpected and dreamlike manner. At the center of the composition, a starfish painted with stone-like texture commands attention. It stands as a symbol of strength and resilience amidst its surroundings. Flanking it are a string of cork floats resembling a necklace and a green glass float suspended in a net. These elements add depth and intrigue to the scene. Wadsworth's use of sharp-edged forms and lack of texture creates an ethereal quality that transports viewers into another realm. The painting evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity, inviting us to explore beyond what meets the eye. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this piece exemplifies Wadsworth's mastery in capturing both realism and imagination within his work. Through his skillful brushstrokes, he transforms everyday objects into extraordinary subjects that challenge our perception of reality. As we gaze upon "Marine Set" we are reminded that art has the power to transport us to new dimensions where dreams intertwine with reality. Wadsworth's ability to evoke emotions through unconventional compositions makes this artwork truly remarkable.
