About the Item
Craighead's paintings operate somewhere between abstraction and the cognitive world, between the unknown and the known. The works often begin with a general idea. He might be reflecting on spiritual or corporal concerns, memory or whatever occupies his thoughts at the moment. Once the first marks are initiated all bets are off about the outcome. He attempts to paint what he believe in, eliminating any marks or images which feel disingenuous, listening to what the painting is telling him to do rather than imposing his will on the work. In this way, it is his hope that the paintings aren’t driven self consciously. They should emerge from a more enigmatic, less familiar place. In the process of painting, initiation, manipulation and removal of marks becomes one of action and reaction. The paintings emerge slowly, one on top of the other, until they tell him he is done.

- Vortices (Minimalist Abstract Color Field Painting in Aqua, Deep Blue, & Black)By Shawn SnowLocated in Hudson, NYHorizontal minimalist abstract acrylic painting in color fields of aqua, deep blue and black. oil and alkyd on canvas in a Larson Juhl black wood recessed framed Inspired by stones, stains from nature, erosion and artists such as Rothko and Sam Francis, Snow produces meditative fields of brilliant aqua, blue and black color by layering oil paints with a fast drying alkyd medium. The network of layers are bound to a complex under-painting with broad bands of pigment while the rapid drying alkyd allows Snow to continue the succession quite quickly, revealing beautiful boundaries of color. With his painting Snow strives for purity, seeking depth without illusion, using horizons of colors as a harmonious language to create chords, scales and tones. The artist has exhibited extensively in the New England region and has shown with Carrie Haddad Gallery for more than ten years. Surface texture of this painting is incredibly smooth due to the combination of paint and chemicals used. Palette is a brilliant aqua and...Category
