Timothy Craig was born in New Hampshire in 1970.
He received his Master's degree from Boston
University, studying under John Moore and John Walker.
He has painted cityscapes wherever he has chosen to
live---Boston, San Francisco, Benares[India], and his
hometown, Manchester, NH. His love for
printmaking, sculpture, and decoration has generated
the textural, tapestry quality of his exciting new
cityscapes. The artist currently paints at his studio
in Boston and is pursuing a Master's degree in
Theology.Statement
These paintings try to capture the amazing beauty of the world around us, whether of nature or of the city. It is my desire to create decorative objects that represent reality, so that the three dimensional could be indicated by an eye-pleasing two dimensional design, with harmonious color arrangements, lyrical lines and an attitude of playfulness. Is it possible to make a landscape or a cityscape have all the decorative elements of a colorful tapestry, yet remain truthful in portraying depth and light? Vuillard explained: "For a decoration for an apartment, a subject that's objectively too precise could easily become unbearable. One would grow less quickly tired of a textile, of designs that don't have too much...precision."
The thick paint is sometimes carved with a linocut tool or a Dremel tool to simplify the outlines and force the “flatness of the design.” A printmaking brayer is sometimes used to apply paint to enhance the surface texture.
"It is not a question of painting life but rather a question of giving life to painting." - Pierre Bonnard
