About Chris Crewe

As industry winds down I find it important to find a new use for these great machines, long forgotten. I break them down into their most simple elements deconstructing each component. I have documented components using their instruction guides and assembly diagrams, I then use their shapes to construct my own unique machines. I feel that these shapes need to be given a new life as an aesthetic used in my paintings. I honor them by giving them a new context color and environment. The core theme throughout my work is about expressing impermanent environments which exist when concrete and organic forms interact. I love working with the plasticity and permanence of acrylic paint. It lets me bring my ideas into a world where I control the environment, flow, and color. I paint quite quickly and enjoy the dance which happens between my brush and the bounce of the canvas. I often feel as if I have had a small spiritual awakening when I finish a painting, as my hunger to create is temporarily satisfied..
