Est: $525 - $650
ARTIST: Ford Crull (New York, born 1954) NAME: White Rose (titled on verso) YEAR: 2004 MEDIUM: oil on paper. Paper applied to board CONDITION: Very good. No visible inpaint under UV light. SIGHT SIZE: 11 x 8 1/2 inches / 27 x 22 cm FRAME SIZE: unframed (In-House framing available) SIGNATURE: on verso CATEGORY: antique vintage painting AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 121661 US Shipping $42 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: New York based artist Ford Crull explores the expressive power of personal and cultural symbols in a series of densely painted and vividly colored compositions. Crull uses identifiable images such as hearts, wings, crosses, and the human figure, as well as geometrical emblems and abstract forms whose meanings are less explicit. Words, in the form of cryptic, fleeting phrases, also animate Crull's pictorial world. Crull employs a myriad of symbols, which variously imply a sexual unfolding, romantic suffering, occult wisdom, and transcendental release. These symbols coexist in a psychic atmosphere in which they overlap, dissolve, and reappear with a kind of furious insistence. There is a strong diaristic element in Crull's work, with each canvas serving as a kind of painterly journal containing reflections and reveries. As meditations on emotional chaos, they enter into a world of competing impulses and simultaneous transmissions, seeking a resolution that is both cathartic and mysterious.Crull's paintings have been included in major exhibitions, including the 1989 Moscow exhibition, "Painting After the Death of Painting," curated by Donald Kuspit. Other more recent solo exhibitions of his work include Carter Burden Gallery, New York, Abmeyer Wood Gallery, Seattle, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama, Bund1919, Shanghai, China, and Arte 92, Milan, Italy, among others.

Crull's signature painting style, which he calls "neo-Symbolist abstraction," is defined by recognizable images hidden among vibrant, chaotic shapes and colors. Unlike the traditional Symbolists that inspired him, Crull prefers to leave his work up to the viewer's interpretation. "The ambiguity of the image is central to my expression of life in art," Crull writes on his website. Crull gained national recognition in 1989 when his work was included in the first ever American art exhibition in the USSR. The ancient relics Crull encountered on his visit to Russia would inspire him to incorporate steel framing in many of his works; he also frequently uses enamel, wax, paper and other materials that lend unique textures to his canvases. Crull's work can be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art and the U.S. Department of State, among others.
