About the Item
Artist Comments
Shaina Craft's petite paintings explore portraiture through abbreviated, awkward compositions. This series is comprised of oil on wood panel paintings that are all smaller than ten inches. They each feature a section of the human face or body rendered in expressively naturalistic detail. These little pieces say a lot about their subject; they convey a surprising amounts of intimacy, character, and experiences despite their size.
About the Artist
Shaina’s figurative work spans the range from realism to abstraction, a dichotomy which she finds to be an ongoing inner conflict within her work. “It’s a search for balance and subtlety,” she says. Shaina is also captivated by the relationship between the beautiful and the grotesque, as seen in her varying presentations of the female form. She works from her own source imagery in a process that includes underpainting, layers of paint, and glazing. When she’s not painting, Shaina also makes tiles and pottery for a local ceramics shop.
