Monumental moment: the sheer scale of Craig's paintings are especially evident when viewed next to an everyday object such as a laptop. Craig works from images on his computer, giving his paintings a luminous quality associated with screen images. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Plus One Gallery’s forthcoming exhibition follows Craig Wylie's mastery of the genre of portraiture, and his on-going explorations in pushing its boundaries to the limit. The work on show at Plus One Gallery juxtaposes his signature massive painted portraits, with small pencil drawings which mirror in miniature the painted images. Through the inherent difference of the mediums, Wylie plays on the power of reinterpretation to remind us that the real is never in stasis. The artists repeated use of sitters in this show is intriguing.  Although obviously the same sitter and similar in composition, each work creates a different perspective, and when placed together, become a poignant elegy to the notion of human existence in time. The artist, amongst such distinctions as winning the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in 2008 and being commissioned by the NPG to paint Dame Kelly Holmes for their permanent collection, has consistently pursued the personal image of the face as an entry point. In his own words, he attempts to “isolate a kind of uninflected tension, borrowing the instantaneous from photography and extending it in time through painting, as if an infinitely vibrating chord.”  Continue reading...
