ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Me and my childhood best friend, homeless, under a bridge, just like I'd always figured we'd end up. Across the river the city is collapsing into ruin, just like these two old farts. Going through some old stuff in my studio last year I came across an old drypoint from 1984 and the drawing I made it from, as well as a collage of the same subject. (See the extra images here.) I was imagining what we would look like at the age we are now. So I thought should update it with a linocut in my present style, now that I know what we look like at this age, the future having become the present. We aren't under the bridge yet, but ... This is a 3-color linocut, image 7 x 10 inches, sheet approximately 11 x 14 inches. They can be shipped unmounted or matted. For the story of how I developed this method of printmaking, check out "The Criswell Linocut" at presentation for web/the_criswell_linocut.html

"I was a loner as a kid, an only child, the kind that grow up to be terrorists, bank robbers or artists. I wasn't interested in terror but tried robbery, stole a watch in the third grade but got caught and took up art. They haven't caught me at that yet." (Warren Criswell) --- “I am saying that a journey is called that because you cannot know what you will discover on the journey, what you will do, what you will find, or what you find will do to you.” (James Baldwin) --- Warren Criswell was born in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1936 and has lived in Arkansas with his wife Janet since their bus broke down there in 1978. Primarily a self-taught painter, Criswell is also a printmaker, sculptor and animator. He has had 41 solo exhibitions in the United States and one in Taiwan. His work has been included in 77 group exhibitions in New York, Atlanta, Washington DC, Arkansas, Virginia, North Carolina, Germany and Taiwan, and is represented in the permanent collections of many institutions, including: The Arkansas Arts Center; the McKissick Museum of the University of South Carolina; The Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, GA; Historic Arkansas Museum, Little Rock, AR; the University of Arkansas at Little Rock; Capital Arts Center, Taipei, China; the University of Central Arkansas; Hendrix College; the Center for Arts & Science of SE Arkansas; and the Central Arkansas Library System, as well as in private and corporate collections in the United States, Europe and Asia. --- In 2021 he won the Arksnsas Governor's Award for Individual artist. In 1996 he was awarded a fellowship grant for painting and works on paper by the Mid-America Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2003 an Individual Artist Fellowship Grant for painting and drawing by the Arkansas Arts Council. Warren Criswell is currently represented by M2 Gallery in Little Rock and Saatchi Art.
