Ben Edge’s paintings capture a unique vision of British calendar customs and folklore. Although we have seen a resurgence of interest in these matters of late, when he began painting folk traditions in the last decade, Ben was an anomaly by virtue of placing such subjects at the centre of his practice.
Folklore Rising (hardback, 257 pages, published by Watkins Books) gathers together over 200 of Ben’s artworks, placing them alongside writings on his personal journey and inspiration.
As part of the Weird Walk Book Cult we are also offering this EXCLUSIVE PRE-ORDER BUNDLE featuring a BRAND NEW 'WEIRD WALK EDITION' ZINE dedicated to Ben’s art.
Folklore Activist is a 40-page visual primer showcasing Ben’s artwork alongside an in-depth interview with Weird Walk, plus the print debut of his essential Folklore Activist Manifesto. A5, printed on high quality PEFC-certified recycled stock.
