ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is available at: My work attracts people who are looking for authenticity, every painting is a struggle; each one a balancing act between color, shape, line, surface, space, abstraction and object. Pieces of architecture are incorporated into these works which remain rooted by the canvas as it acts as a keyhole into their world. The pieces are struggled over, coated again and again with industrial grade latex enamel, wax, latex, ink, and graphite to make the most interesting surfaces, urban architecture that has stood the test of time gets a chance to run away into a cartoon world where anything can happen and fun is all around. This series plays with movement while working with the sheer heaviness that is inherent with concrete, the two going together like peanut butter and jelly. Creating tensions between nature and architecture, with a sense of portended, but comical, ruin; like a ballerina with a cinder block for a foot. Every time you look at one of my works you will notice something; a small nuance or intricacy that you did not see before, it will brighten up your day and become an endless source of inspiration for your life. I want for you to see a starting point and perhaps get momentarily lost; I hope that you will dream. EVERY PIECE CREATED IN MY STUDIO MADE FOR URBAN LIFE, TO PERSONIFY THE BUSTLING, SEXUALLY CHARGED MARCH FORWARD YOU FEEL WHEN LIVING IN A CITY, TO KNOW YOU'VE MADE IT OR TO GIVE YOU HOPE FOR THAT EVENTUALITY. YOU ARE POWERFUL. YOU ARE PASSIONATE. AND YOU'RE ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED. ______________________________________________ One of a kind, and Limited Edition Series; with a signed certificate of authenticity.

« I hope you will see a starting point and maybe get a bit lost: I hope that you will dream. » Emerging artist Chris Crewe compares life to a trapeze act. Always knowing that the next rung will be there, he hasn't fallen yet. The Canadian artist has been studying the use of sledgehammer as a paintbrush, replicating marks, and incorporating them into his abstract works. Crewe also makes paint markers out of plastic bottles by melting the plastic to turn the lid into a spout, often using them to draw in free-flowing gestures. His unique works are meant to 'brighten your day'.
