This August, as Edinburgh bursts into life with the world’s largest arts festival. EzelDotz is celebrating creativity in all its forms with 15% off every artwork on our platform.
Much like the Edinburgh Fringe, our collection is alive with variety, surreal lithographs, vibrant paintings, music-inspired prints and more. No queues, no gallery-hopping, just the thrill of discovering exceptional art from the comfort of your own home.
The Fringe is a feast of ideas, a meeting point for the theatrical, the musical, the absurd, and the unexpected. It’s where creative souls cross disciplines, moving from stage to screen, from sound to sculpture and sometimes, from the camera to the canvas. This month, our spotlight shines on three visionaries whose work embodies that spirit of crossing boundaries: David Lynch, Alexandra Gardner, and Storm Thorgerson.
From Screen to Canvas: David Lynch’s Surreal Stage
David Lynch (1946–January 2025) was a globally revered filmmaker and visual artist. He is known for blending beauty and darkness in ways that linger in the imagination. His career began in fine art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before his films Eraserhead (1977), Blue Velvet (1986), and Twin Peaks (1990) cemented his place as one of cinema’s most visionary storytellers.
Yet throughout his life, Lynch returned again and again to drawing and printmaking. His lithographs, especially those created at Paris’s renowned Item Editions studio, are imbued with the same dreamlike unease as his films.
Our featured work, Four (4) Heads Came Out on Wednesday, was created to mark the opening of his first major UK exhibition, My Head Is Disconnected, held at HOME Manchester in 2019 as part of the Manchester International Festival. Limited to just 100 signed prints, it depicts a spectral landscape of floating heads and a solitary hillside dwelling in Lynch’s stark, black-and-white palette. Each comes with memorabilia from the private preview, offering a tangible connection to this landmark event in British contemporary art.
This piece is a rare collector’s item that has seen considerable growth in demand from investors, driven by its scarcity and by Lynch’s passing earlier this year. Recent auctions have achieved strong prices for his limited-edition works, making this an opportunity to secure a highly desirable piece before it disappears into private collections. In both artistic and investment terms, this is one to snap up early.
Theatre’s Pulse in Paint: Alexandra Gardner’s Fringe Spirit
Alexandra “Sandie” Gardner was born in Glasgow in 1945 and trained at the Glasgow School of Art under the celebrated David Donaldson. On graduating, she was invited to lecture at the school – a role she held for 21 years while building her own reputation as one of Scotland’s most accomplished female painters.
Her works, shown in prestigious galleries across London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, have found homes in collections from Canada to Japan. Gardner’s paintings are infused with a theatrical sensibility, layered, dynamic, and rich with emotional intensity. Like the best Fringe performances, her art thrives on energy, movement, and the interplay between the expected and the unexpected.
Highly sought after by collectors and represented in significant public and corporate collections including the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum, The Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation, and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Her works rarely appear on the secondary market. When they do, they attract strong interest thanks to her established reputation and limited availability. For collectors looking to secure a major Scottish talent whose work has enduring cultural and market value, Gardner’s art offers both emotional and long-term appeal.
Rock & Roll Reverie: Storm Thorgerson’s Visual Soundtracks
Storm Thorgerson (1944–2013) was one of the most influential visual artists in music history. Born in Dartford, Kent, and a school friend of Pink Floyd founders Roger Waters and Syd Barrett, Thorgerson went on to study English, Philosophy, and later Film and Television at the Royal College of Art.
In 1967, he co-founded the design collective Hipgnosis, revolutionising album cover art with surreal, conceptual imagery that elevated record sleeves to an art form. His clients included Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Black Sabbath, and of course, Pink Floyd, for whom he designed nearly every album cover.
Our featured piece, Pink Floyd’s Mother Of All Back Catalogues (2012 Limited Edition), is both playful and iconic. It depicts classic Pink Floyd album covers painted on the backs of three models beside a swimming pool – a tongue-in-cheek nod to the theatrical spectacle of rock and the enduring visual legacy of music.
Thorgerson’s works are widely recognised as cultural artefacts, bridging the gap between music memorabilia and fine art. Limited editions such as this one are increasingly scarce, particularly in pristine, framed condition. With the continued global popularity of Pink Floyd and the timeless appeal of Thorgerson’s imagery, these pieces have proven to hold and, in many cases increase, their value over time. For fans of music history and collectors of iconic design, this is an opportunity to own a work with both emotional resonance and investment potential.
Fringe on the Walls: From Posters to Paintings
Right now, Edinburgh is alive with colour. Posters plaster railings, train stations, parks, and streets – each one a shout for audiences from performers who have travelled from across the globe to make their mark. Some are household names, others are unknowns on the brink of discovery.
At EzelDotz, we’re joining the fun on social media, Instagram and Facebook, pairing Fringe posters with artworks from our collection that share their mood, tone, or spirit. It’s a playful way to see how stage and canvas often speak the same language – whether in surrealism, humour, intensity, or pure spectacle.
