Charlie Craddock is a very original artist working in oil and airbrush. He is a unique combination of the real, surreal and the fantastical. The paintings are mostly large,48"by48" and larger because" I want to have the viewer walk into the painting, size helps to give that feeling". Lately he has been working on images of the cosmos, mostly deep sky objects. While working with his Meade 12" telescope astrophotography became linked to his paintings. "Deep sky objects seem so naturally painterly so I have created a series of paintings about these objects I'm seeing in the night sky". "It's also great to think that I can create a link between art and science, they seem so disassociated these days". |
