Exhibition of Paintings by Morgan Craig
October 13, 2014
Morgan Craig received his B.A. in painting at the Tyler school of Art, Temple University and received his M.F.A. in painting at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. He has exhibited his work around the United States while lecturing to art students about the knowledge and skill needed to become a professional artist.
Craig’s work examines the castaway places in our society. He comments upon how we should use these places to understand our past, present and future. “My work is comprised of everything and nothing. Large scale paintings of edifices that speak so much of the presence in absence. At times, my work can be construed as a sociopolitical commentary on corporations, and the effects of obsolescence, hubris, and avarice on communities throughout the world, while at other times a paradigm of existence, and its structure or lack of. I want my work to compel the viewer to look deeper, and to question.” said Craig.
