Craig French's Biography
Craig French is a constructionist sculptor, whose brilliant, lyrical wall pieces have gained him an international audience. Cast resins, acrylics, sheet metals, rare woods, and glass are laboriously cut, lathed, and polished into fanciful shapes - then joined and intertwined into arresting color-texture combinations. His sculptures dance, play, spin, and sing to create an abstract language inflected by many accents - yet they all are unified by overarching themes of aesthetic optimism, joy, and a duty to fine craftsmanship.
French is heir to the pioneering Russian Constructivists of the early 20th century. They sought to elevate the abstract language of machine-age forms into artworks of deep social and spiritual significance. This is especially true of French's multidimensional studies. In their recessions and foregrounding, he reveals an astonishing gift for exploring the uniqueness of angle and curve - caught, as it were, in the act of forging alliances among the otherwise alien materials that compose them. Viewers of his compositions will surely agree that here, in the unlikely solidities of wood and resin, neon, glass alloys and synthetics, French has truly discovered beauty, rhythm and the flow of poetry.
