Clem Crosby is a contemporary artist[1] living and working in London, England.[2][3][4] His work, mainly non-representational painting,[5] is in the collection of the Tate, the Leeds City Museum, the Microsoft Art Collection and the Berkeley Art Museum.[citation needed] He was commissioned by the Young Vic theatre in London to create a permanent installation, titled 180 Monochrome Paintings.[6][7]
Career[edit]
Crosby began creating abstract paintings in about 1986.[8] In 1994 his work was displayed at the Lisson Gallery in London,[9] and some of his early work was included in a group exhibition in Copenhagen in 2000.[citation needed]
Crosby developed a method of painting which employed oil paint on formica on aluminum panels.[10] Many of his paintings include patterned or free-flowing lines with a slick, wet texture, often drawn without lifting his brush,[11] on simple backgrounds,[12][13] to produce thick textured paint surfaces.[14]
Over time, Crosby created a large number of monochrome works that were combined into a permanent exhibit at the Young Vic Theatre.[citation needed]
