Craig is an independent scholar, artist and filmmaker who draws inspiration from the Irish landscape, themes of identity, and urban subcultures.
Craig uses a range of techniques within his paintings to layer colour and texture. His work is at times energetic with a notable expressive use of paint on canvas, and at other times methodical and measured. His paintings often exhibit washes of paint combined with palette knife layering and mark-making scores in the paint that resemble handwriting.
His experimental film work focuses on abstract moments in time, the human body, and semi-fictional narratives that present an alternative vision of the world.
