Daisy Craddock “Local Produce”
Fischbach Gallery
This event has ended.
Daisy Craddock’s seductively minimalist diptychs play on many senses. Seen from a distance they appear to be abstract color studies. Upon closer inspection they reveal the variation of tone and texture of individual fruits and vegetables. The left side of each pair presents the skin that first attracts our attention while the right side evokes the more subtle shades of the flesh that delights our palate. The physicality of the medium—oil pastel and oil stick layered, scraped, spread and burnished—all evidence the artist’s hand. They are sui generis incidents in much the same way that an actual rather than an idealized “Persimmon” or “Berkshire Plum” varies in patterning, surface sheen, and of course, taste.
Daisy Craddock a native of Memphis, Tennessee has lived and worked in SoHo for many years. She summers in the Berkshires and frequently travels to other places with equally delicious fruits and vegetables. She received her BA from Rhodes College and her MFA in painting from the University of Georgia. This is her fourth Solo Exhibition at Fischbach Gallery.
