St. Petersburg, FL – ARTicles Art Gallery and the Staybridge Suites proudly present new work by Michael Crabb, featuring paintings, drawings and prints centered around the aesthetics of accumulative gesture. This will be the first solo-exhibition of Crabb’s work in Tampa Bay in over 10 years and the debut of his recently conceived series of delicately composed drawings called Open and Closed Shapes. The exhibition will be on view August 23 – November 11, 2018.

 

Michael Crabb currently works on three bodies of work simultaneously: abstract oil paintings, open and closed shaped drawings, made primarily with graphite and ink on small sheets of vellum, and his most recent Identity series, created with several different inks and screens and applied with his fingertips, to achieve unique marks on various papers.

 

Michael’s oil paintings on canvas are based purely in abstract thought, embracing texture and mark-making through additive and subtractive means, which are accompanied by narrative titles to offer the viewer additional entry into the work and his way of thinking. Each work should embody charm, ambiguity, and an alluring complexity of expression.
