Born into American 1990’s society with no real material problems, Cedric was given his name so he would not have to pick a pseudonym; it was intended that he become a playwright. The exposure to great writers as a child helped him gain a hatred for fiction, and gain a love for East European philosophers and painters. Cedric developed a surrealist style, his primary medium being oil paints, though he often works in mixed media.
As Cedric aged, he noted that the purpose of education was to be disciplined. Past the introductory courses, there was nothing more he could learn. Cedric attended Universities, but dropped out half-way through his BFA for painting. It appeared to him that, in order to understand contemporary art, one needed an art education. Thus leaving it to the upper classes. He decided that art should be for the everyday person. No one should need a degree to understand it. Cedric swayed from the realm of abstraction; for the education requirements, and for the lack of technical skill.
A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T: This series has drawn a large influence from my past artwork. I realize now; that the separate stylistic choices I have made, was merely training. This series combines the techniques that I have learned. All the commercial styles that I have approached, and pure experimentation. Each painting is started off by arbitrarily picking space scenes and alignments. I then divide up the scene purely based on intuition. The color choices are made on the spot. After alternating through each painting at each different stage. Allowing the oils to dry, I return to the pieces individually. Adding more details, and glazes increasing the aesthetic quality. I love every minute of it.
