Michael Craig-Martin

Quotidian objects are draped in vibrant colours on Michael Craig-Martin’s paintings. High heels, blenders, shirts, and caps become sculptural as they are depicted in bold outlines. The dazzling colour planes contrast the minimalism of the line, sharply demarcating one colour plane from the other. Craig-Martin’s vigorous draftsmanship, attentive eye, and observant replication of ‘things’ render the familiar iconic by his audacious minimalism. Exciting and daunting, his paintings entice their audience to look again.
