Ed Kluz is an artist, illustrator, and printmaker. His work explores contemporary perceptions of the past through the re-imagining of historic landscapes, buildings, and objects. The ideas of early Romanticism, the Picturesque movement and antiquarian representations of topography and architecture underpin his approach to image making. He has a particular interest in the eccentric, uncanny and overlooked – follies, lost country houses and ruins provide a constant source of inspiration. As a designer and illustrator, Ed has received commissions from the V&A, Faber, Folio Society, John Murray publishers, Little Toller Books, ​and St Jude's fabrics. Ed was born in 1980 and grew up in Swaledale, North Yorkshire. He studied fine art at the Winchester School of Art between 1999 - 2002.
