Ford Crull'Heartland' Expressive Abstract Painting2014
2014
About the Item
‘Heartland’ is a medium size expressionist abstract oil and oil stick on canvas painting created by American artist Ford Crull in 2014. Featuring a striking palette mostly made of red, yellow, white, green and blue tones, the painting depicts a large central multi-colored heart, highlighted by a bold black outline, standing out perfectly on a white background. Energetic marks and strokes of various colors populate the rest of the composition. Unframed, this expressionist abstract oil and oil stick on canvas vertical painting will be a strong focal point in any home, whether placed above a buffet, side table or sofa table.
Born in Boston in 1954, but raised on the west coast, Ford Crull explores the expressive power of personal and cultural symbols in a series of densely painted and vividly colored compositions. He uses identifiable images such as hearts, wings, crosses, and the human figure, as well as geometrical emblems and abstract forms whose meanings are less explicit. Words, in the form of cryptic, fleeting phrases, also animate Crull’s pictorial world. Crull employs a myriad of symbols which variously imply a sexual unfolding, romantic suffering, occult wisdom, and transcendental release. These symbols coexist in a psychic atmosphere in which they overlap, dissolve, and reappear with a kind of furious insistence. The heart is among the most frequent of these symbols, combining love on both physical and spiritual levels.
Cull’s work can be found in private collections around the world as well as in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery, Dayton Art Institute, and the Brooklyn Museum among others. His paintings were included in the important 1989 Moscow exhibition, “Painting After the Death of Painting”, curated by Donald Kuspit. Recent exhibitions have included shows in Shanghai, London, Milan, New York and Seattle.

Ford Crull
“My work can be understood through the mind, but it is best felt with the heart, experienced through the emotions, recognized as a manifestation of the spiritual that is born on the picture plane. The ambiguity of the image is central to my expression of life in art.” — Ford Crull
