Craww

"It’s part of a series of work that inevitably started in my Moleskine sketchbook. I find the process of drawing very relaxing, almost therapeutic and tend to draw in a very “stream of consciousness way”. The organic, floral forms were an extension of that process that took on a life of their own and I’ve been exploring them across a variety of mediums including oils and acrylic paintings. With this piece I wanted to retain the simplicity of the original line drawings but add a bit of extravagance. I’ve been experimenting with gold leaf and the two mediums work very well together." - Craww

This RUN comes signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity from Craww and 1xRUN.

Self taught artist and habitual doodler, Craww lives and works in Sheffield, drawing inspiration from daydreams, music, comics, nature, gin and an overactive imagination.

Craww likes ambiguity and his work explores the secret stories and connections of a constantly evolving cast of characters. Following tangled threads and discovering hidden undercurrents, it is a stream of consciousness ramble through the woods, populated with skulls, crows and melancholic girls. It’s direction influenced as much by accident and a short attention span as design.

He enjoys seeing his creations taking on a life of their own as he brings his world to life with a mix of elegance, balance and disciplined chaos, using acrylic, graphite, ink and whatever else is at hand. With a background in graphic design, his art is informed by a sense of balance and narrative flow, making sense of the seemingly chaotic drips and washes of colour. A style that, with successful shows in the UK and US, has found collectors and fans around the world.
