OPENING RECEPTION: Former NBA Player Now Oil Painter Neil Anthony Edwards
2025-11-08 18:00 - 20:00 | Morton Contemporary Gallery, 115 South 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, United States
From Slam Dunks to Master Strokes — Neil Anthony Edwards, former NBA basketball player turned award-winning painter, unveils his latest exhibition “WE ARE ALL FADING” at Morton Contemporary. NEIL WILL BE ATTENDING THE OPENING RECEPTION!
Neil’s striking canvases transform his legendary drive on the court into a powerful canvas meditation on life’s fleeting moments and the legacies we leave behind.
Join us for the opening reception and meet the artist on Saturday, November 8th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at 115 S. 13th Street, Philadelphia PA, 19170.
From the artist: “We Are All Fading is a series that reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of legacy. Each piece captures the tension between living fully in the present moment while recognizing that time is always moving us forward. The fashion worn by the figures is not just style, but identity — a symbol of who they were in their lifetime and how they chose to express themselves. Though we are all fading, what remains is the mark we leave behind: our stories, our presence, and the way we touched the world. My art in this show seeks to preserve that essence before it slips away.”
