Scott McCracken 'Big Crunch'

About

"A collection of confident and visually stimulating paintings. Whilst small in scale, abstract in form and pictorial in attitude, Scott McCracken's paintings cleverly utilise a few elements that resist resolution into an overall picture - yet they never totally collapse into separate freestanding parts; everything in the paintings needs what’s around it to achieve a temporary stability."

Phillip Allen

"I often wonder what would have happened if abstraction succeeded in becoming a design for life? If the prototype of revolutionary spirit became a template for harmonious future? Perhaps it is contrived to think of a single system that can embody all our desires and aspirations. However, in Scott McCracken’s work I find comfort, a vision that articulates my questions, just as it offers a place of retreat. A place where vitality of thought and the lightness of sensations still roam in wonderment, offering solutions and a momentary way out, which affirms paintings’ pursuit and meaning."
