Michael Craig Martin - Past Present Exhibition

Atelier JI is proud to have produced prints for Michael Craig Martin’s 2022 exhibition ‘Past Present’ at Cristea Robert Gallery. The exhibition featured new prints which pay homage to some of Martin’s 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. To see details of the artworks we produced, click here.

Craig-Martin 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. Past Present is Craig-Martin’s homage to these artists.

‘Past Present’ will be on display at Cristea Roberts Gallery from 23 September - 5 November 2022.
