Such beautiful work by Cranston! The work of a true painter! Would love to spend more time enjoying, the work is that good. Thanks for your continued commentaries, I love coming along!
Many thanks for showing this and great to see Andrews paintings here. I have seen a lot of his smaller works in Edinburgh (UK) and its nice to see these bigger pieces in this show with the close ups. He gave some great talks at Edinburgh College of Art which the students (and staff) loved.
I thought this was an absolutely stunningly beautiful show. Fascinating compositions, dreamy mid-tones, surfaces made for le plaisir des yeux. Almost as if Thomas Nozkowski did figurative work on a larger scale. It's that good!
Thank you James Kalm & Kate for yet another great Art report! Very high standard paintings from Andrew Cranston! Cheers from Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain.
@@jameskalm you should visit Raleigh NC and see some of the beautiful art here. By the way I was commission by the Virginia Theological Seminary to paint two paintings. Those paintings will hang in the school gallery for the duration. The gallery will be named after a slave woman. I think it was Time Magazine that ran a story on their upcoming 200th anniversary which will take place in 2023. By the way that fellow got some B.B King's licks also.
love the work but the temporary process that is used isn't one that goes hand in hand with longevity. The process is more so for cheap and temporary projects... Will this work last?
I believe Andrew is using bleach on the paintings in a kind of alchemical painting process to lighten some of the passages towards white, while leaving interesting color incidences behind...(?)
To James Kalm. Thank you very much for your videos. I like it a lot, all of it. But could you please hold your camera a little more steady, just in between. Thank you. From DK.
You should check out the "North by Northeast" show at Kasmin Gallery, it's the final week before it closes on August 13. It's a group show of contemporary Canadian painters. Janet Werner is in the show, and I love her work. She's from Montreal, and worked as a painting teacher at Concordia University. Often, she collages pictures from fashion magazines into figures, which she then uses as models for large scale portraits.
Why fabricate antiques? I like some things about this work but the imagery and to some extent the surfaces evoke something from another time. When Vuillard and Bonnard made this kind of painting they were painting the actual world around them. I never see people sitting in wicker chairs in gardens sipping tea these days.
Hmm that’s maybe because you live in America which the beating heart of the modern diverse, corporate world. Come to Scotland and you’ll see an older type of life does exist.
@@trudyross-turnbull3516 That could be. However, I looked at these again and so much of the imagery and color sensibility is straight out of Vuillard and Bonnard and that post impressionist era that I definitely think the artist is conjuring up another time period, not our own. Of course, as James mentions, most Americans these days are looking backwards with a romantic eye for relief from facing the current day so these will likely be popular.
Love AC's paintings thank you for sharing this show.
Very nice show...reminds me a lot of Doig.

The music was great too.
Yes, Adjua Ajamu makes me think of a young Jimi Hendrix (whose Electric Lady Land studio is only blocks away)...

Live in cali now. From Coney island. I wonder if there are galleries in coney island.?. I guess your bike cant take u that far.
BEAUTIFUL work!
Reminds me of Peter Doig.
I was hoping for this one!!
Neo-Art Povera paintings
Reminds me of merio mertz rotting fruit colours at guggihiem mussum.
Wooooooow!!!! 👌😊👍
I enjoyed this. He had a nice color palette. His work reminded me of Matthew Wong in some ways.
I found it difficult to watch at times, I think the video panning was moving too fast?!
CRANSTOOOOOON !!

Distemper process is not temporary
@@cliffdariff74 oh but it is though, by definition and how it works Cliff.
Adjure Ajamu's guitar play is very fantastic. Why paint on a book cover?
Good show, thanks for posting
Nice, sweet blues guy at the beginning..
Jk not sure but what is "bleached canvas" ? Thanks
I believe Andrew is using bleach on the paintings in a kind of alchemical painting process to lighten some of the passages towards white, while leaving interesting color incidences behind...(?)
@@jameskalm I see.. thanks.
did that guy at the start scoot past saying "give him money" after you just did?
Yeah, he did...(hahaha...) JK
@@jameskalm welldone you for being Kalm
Your moves make me seasick !

I always wonder what happens to outsiders when they fly so close to the sun
Where is the magic ?

his colors and textures remind me of Pierre Bonnard - they create their own light - edit - oops! you said that!!! :)
I don't like his temper,
He should control his temper, but
Thanks anyway

Love your work out there James! But: Why should I be interested in these Peter Doig knockoffs...?
Because the "market" is (?)
@@jameskalm Ha! Right on James! (Thank you again for what you do.)
i thought the show was good
