Author: Craven, Ann
This catalogue, accompanying Karma’s three-part exhibition of new paintings by Craven, surveys major motifs of the artist’s nearly 30-year-long practice. For the first time, she has set all of her scenes in the darkness of evening, creating a consistent chromatic background that intensifies her vibrant colours. Alongside a lush plate section, this volume features a conversation between the artist and curator Jay Sanders, an expansive art-historical essay by Richard Kalina and poems by Susan Howe. These oils of moons, trees, birds, flowers and deer constitute the latest chapter in her systematic catalogue of what she terms “revisitations,” each of which is also a reinvention of her subject matter. In this body of work, and across her practice, figuration morphs into kaleidoscopic abstraction and back again, each canvas resisting easy categorisation in favour of pure feeling.
ISBN 9781961883161. Karma Books, New York. hb. 124 pages. 71 colour ills. 27.9 x 27.9 cm.
