Terry Craig’s work is landscape-based abstraction. It has its roots in Kandinsky, who was among the first modern artists to realize the potential of abstract painting as a means of expressing the artist’s personal connection with the world.
He eventually arrived at an art, which used the elements of painting not to represent nature, but to present the artist’s spiritual response to it. A place where the outer world and inner world work together to produce that expression.
In the post-modern era, many regard a spiritual approach to art as suspect, either hopelessly outdated and naïve or, worse, pretentious and self-servingly grandiose. However Craig continues to think of art making in spiritual terms – painting amounts to a devotional act for him.
