Biography
Michael Craig-Martin was born in Dublin in 1941 and educated in the United States, where he studied at Yale University. He returned to Europe in the mid-1960s and was a key figure in the first generation of British conceptual artists. As a tutor at Goldsmith's College from 1974-1988 and 1994-2000, he had a significant influence on two generations of young British artists. Throughout his career Craig-Martin has explored the aesthetic and linguistic character of everyday, designer and iconic ‘art-historical' objects which he has realized through a variety of media including paintings, sculpture, prints and, most recently, computer animations.
Style of work
He concentrates a lot on focusing on different important things as the word ART from the picture below. He usually place one or two different sizes household objects foreground and make them brighter by using colour that acctually stands out and the rest of the traced objects from the background are having just the outline of it and no colours inside.
My opinion
I really don't like his work. It looks so cartoony and the colours are too many bright colours. His work makes my eyes feel tired. I think he uses too many object and this can possibly confuse you.
