Overview
Sanctuary
Craig Mooney creates painting of dramatic moments and heightened emotionality that are known for being expansive and expressive. Though a representational painter, he incorporates a myriad of abstract qualities throughout his paintings. In his figurative work, Mooney romanticizes his subjects and presents them in an atmospheric lens that is best described as dreamlike. His paintings capture a moment suspended in time. While his work feels familiar, it is not specific. Rather it is a symbolism of a moment in time. Growing up in New York City, Mooney painted with anything he could get his hands on. Later having moved to Vermont Mooney’s paintings reflect the quieter nature of his environment. Where even his paintings of the cityscapes give way to a solitary pedestrian or a rainy night.
