Craig Alan
"Populus"- Pieces - Sculpture - Commission

About the Item

Mixed Media Original sculpture. Two sides. Puzzle Piece. About the Artist: In his prolific career is a culmination of textbook artistic knowledge and keen aesthetic sense that has gone from a "slow and studied" application to "fast and free of precise thought". Craig's collections run the gamut from abstract expressionism to haunting, graphic realism, each one a reflection of its creator's unique vision. He is most well-known for his Populus series, which drew inspiration from a balcony overlooking Orange Beach, Alabama where patrons enjoying a wedding party seemed to form the shape of an eye where they stood. Craig explains, "Inspiration begins with a 'What if...' as I consider alternate imagery, surfaces, effects, results, etc. It comes from the past in conjunction with now. Like a bolt of lightning." Since the epiphany, his Populus series is now home to dozens of celebrities and icons of all ages including: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, James Bond, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Van Gough, Gandhi, James Dean, Lady Justice, John Lennon, Queen Elizabeth, Darth Vader, Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn, and many more! Craig has become publicly recognized as an innovator in the visual arts industry and has achieved many spectacular feats through the years: Exhibited worldwide. Collected by many private and prominent collectors. Populus portrait of Senator Harry Reid presented in the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Frequent presence at major art fairs including: Palm Beach Show, Scope, Art Silicon Valley, Context Art Miami Populus Nelson Mandela went viral as people spun the artwork into an actual tribute event photo

  • You bet your ass they're real
    By StrosbergMandel
    Located in New York, NY
    An homage to the beauty of Elizabeth Taylor inside and out. Two artists worked on this piece. One did the portrait, the other added all the elements of fashion and glitter. The earring is created by artist as are the eyelashes, the designs on the background, the beautiful brains, the hair, the dress. One of a kind beauty. About the collaborators: New York artists Serge Strosberg and David Mandel fuse the visual language of Flemish and German portraiture with fantasy jewelry and fabric design. Both artists present a very contemporary and unlikely mixture of works heavily inspired by their personal histories characterized by decadence and eccentricity of the NYC club...
