About The Artwork

My paintings attract people who are looking for authenticity. Each one is a miniature explosion that was captured using a polymer to record. It is fascinating to look closely and see that an arm of paint has spiraled around in the air 8-9 times twisting two colors together before it landed back on the canvas. The weight of the hammer striking down creates an explosion of force which causes the paint to race outward and perform unpredictable maneuvers twisting in mid-air and skimming the surface of the canvas like skipping pebbles on a pond. Often times the paint gets angry before settling; it bubbles and mixes in strange ways, other times the dried paint cracks like the floor of a desert adding a new level of weirdness to the aftermath of the explosion. I provide a painting that is an endless source of inspiration, 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 the right kind of energy. You will see a starting point and maybe get a bit lost; I hope that you will dream. ______________________________________________ Arrives ready to hang on your wall; made with high quality heavy body paint so you really can feel the structure and witness the vibrancy of the color . One of a kind, and Limited Edition Series; with a signed certificate of authenticity, it will also be signed and dated on the back by Chris Crewe in permanent marker. ______________________________________________ Copyright © 2019 Chris Crewe - All Rights Reserved.

« 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'.
