The artist’s dynamic composition references both his career as a hugely influential teacher at Goldsmiths, London, and the Royal Academy’s role as a pioneering centre for learning and debate. Carefully cropped, with its pages mid-turn, the image becomes almost abstracted.
Craig-Martin’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses large-scale painting, installation and sculpture as well as printmaking and computer works. His work is characterised by its exploration, in deceptively simple forms, of everyday domestic objects such as lightbulbs, shoes, umbrellas and coffee cups. Using line drawing and a vibrant palette, Craig-Martin’s visual language is unique.
The RA Editions programme generates valuable revenue for the RA and in particular the RA Schools.
