Michael Craig-Martin is a well-established figure within the British art world. His hallmark style, minimalist and colourful, depicts everyday objects in a way that questions our vision of purpose and form. With bold colours and black outlines, the artist differentiates himself with graphic and cartoonish drawings of everyday objects. Since 1978, he creates two-dimensional images with the same visual grammar of colourful and minimalist paintings. He creates a vocabulary of his own, hundreds of drawings of ordinary objects fill his compendium of images, with which he then plays around to create his compositions. In a game of scales, he makes objects of different sizes coincide in his paintings. A pair of sneakers suddenly becomes as big as a suitcase or a set of headphones. After overcoming this first sense of familiarity with the painting, the viewer starts to reflect upon the function behind these objects, a reflection intended by the artist. In his compositions, the use of colours is as important as the drawing itself, it specifies it, gives it a different identity. The vibrant colours give sculptural space to the paintings while also challenging our preconceived vision of the objects.
