Craig Mooney
Cityscape by Craig Mooney, Large Contemporary New York City Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

'Cityscape' is a large vertical representational oil on canvas painting of New York City created by American artist Craig Mooney in 2022. Featuring an exquisite palette mostly made of gray, blue and cream tones, accented with touches of red and white, the painting depicts a bustling and gorgeous day in Manhattan represented through an atmospheric lens that is best described as dreamlike. We are left admiring a view that seems to be suspended in time. Great importance is given to the sky, with its warm accents and delicate clouds. A sidewalk with pedestrians is front and center, gently leading our eye throughout the composition. The result is a stunning depiction of an idyllic city, that will enliven any wall beautifully, perhaps placed above a sofa, console table or enfilade. Unframed, this oil on canvas is signed lower right. We've had a crush on Craig Mooney's large and light-filled paintings for quite a while so it was a very happy day here at the gallery when we hung his gorgeous work on our gallery walls. We just can't seem to drag our eyes away from his magical skies, verdant lands and shimmery waterways. And, although Craig is widely recognized as a representational painter, we're drawn to the abstract elements in his work, especially in his urban-set paintings which feel a little mysterious but always familiar. We're pulled to the dreamy, atmospheric qualities of his work and of course, his soft-as-air palette that makes the paintings simply sing. Craig was born and raised in the heart of midtown Manhattan (NY) and his roots in art go back to his youth. His father, an amateur artist, taught him how to create oil paintings from discarded art supplies found on city streets. To Mooney, the city was an endless source of inspiration from an early age. Even though Craig took art classes in both in high school and college, he regards this early exposure as the truest form of training he ever received.
