Gregory Crane "Thirty Years of Drawing 1979 - 2009"
Masters & Pelavin
This event has ended.
The artist’s association with the gallery started in the early eighties when invited to a workshop to create etchings and monotypes. This monotype connection has remained strong and fresh, and since that time both I and Brian Pilliod, who first conceived of a Crane drawing exhibition and designed the catalog for the show, have had the great pleasure of collaborating with Crane on a large series of painted monotypes.
Paintings and monotypes will also be included in the exhibition to give the viewer not already familiar with Crane’s art a rounded image of his body of work.
Gregory Crane is known as an artists’ artist, his intense and intensely personal paintings of landscape; rural, farm, industrial decay and urban garden, use color and form, light and dark to create a world that is akin to magic realism. They come equipped with slightly menacing plant life, visual air trails, hidden and beloved wild life; birds, cats and dogs and living skies and moving grounds. These drawings then are the working bones of his paintings. One can follow the artist’s visual thought process as he works through the drawings.
