About the Item

Crap Fair Ryan Cronin Paint on Paper 30" x 22" When people look at his work Cronin wants them to feel an immediate impact, even if they’re not sure what hit them. The raw, almost childlike appearance of his work belies his reflective underlying vision. He delights in unexpected or enigmatic juxtapositions in terms of both theme and placement and often brings a sense of humor to bear on troubling contemporary issues. This sensibility, combined with quick, instinctive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette, result in striking images that can simultaneously disturb and entertain. While a keen sense of composition informs his work, he likes to cite the less cultivated elements of the hand-lettered sign and the pop song, as two key influences that have contributed as much as his formal training to his bold signature style. These influences have led to the creation of art that is referential, though not necessarily representational, thought-provoking, and playful, and that takes the viewer on a brief, lyrical journey full of free association and surprise. This painting will be shipped directly from the artist's studio.
