Michael Craig-Martin
Install shot of ‘Past Present’ at Cristea Roberts Gallery, London, 2022
Michael Craig-Martin, one of the most influential artists and teachers of his generation, was a key figure in the first generation of British conceptual artists.
Craig-Martin has developed a distinctive style over the past 50 years through the compilation of a whole vocabulary of objects realised through a variety of media including painting, sculpture, drawing, printing and animations. In 2001 Craig-Martin was appointed CBE; in the same year, he was appointed Emeritus Professor of Fine Art by Goldsmiths College.
Atelier JI was delighted to produce prints to be featured in Michael Craig-Martin’s 2022 exhibition ‘Past Present’ at Cristea Robert Gallery.
Installations
Past Present features new prints by Michael Craig-Martin, which pay homage to some of his favourite artists and artworks, including paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Piero della Francesca, Georges Seurat, Caravaggio, and Diego Velázquez. Craig-Martin reinterprets their imagery for the twenty-first century, deconstructing selected paintings, rebuilding and rendering them in his own distinctive style.
Craig-Martin has selected famous paintings from Western art history that sit firmly in our psyche. For each print he employs simple uninflected lines and a palette of intense colours to reinterpret his selection of subjects. This unique visual language presents each masterpiece afresh.
