Craig Foord

Brighton Born Modern Contemporary Artist

Brighton born artist Craig Foord is an emerging painter in the UK art scene and is now taking centre stage on gallery wall space across the country. His artwork presents spectacular multi-coloured views of the land and the sky, but he equally excels in impressionist modern art, formed with swathes of beautiful colours, that is ethereal and reminiscent of the cosmos.

Tree Surgeon To Master Painter

Originally a tree surgeon, his former work gave Craig has a unique knowledge of nature, shapes & structure and he has been able to translate this through his brush and easel, with speculator originals on canvas!

Fellow artists that specialise in this modern art genre include Simon Kenny & Alison Johnson, each with a unique style but also under the umbrella of ‘modern contemporary’ art.

Craig’s Painting Process

He begins his paintings with squares and circles and builds the canvas up from there using various mediums, acrylics and embellishments to create his amazing paintings; finally, a gloss resin is applied for a beautiful, brilliant finish!

Recent Works and Formats

Craig has produced one off original sculptures in resin, offering another unique and wonderous insight into the colours and shapes seen in his mind’s eye and providing amazing accompaniments to his paintings.

He has also been discovering painting onto circular canvases, such as the original 'Atmosphere,’ for a truly awe-inspiring effect. It is a tribute to his talent and painting style that it remains eye catching whatever the medium or shape of the canvas he is painting on.

His most recent work has included snow covered mountains and can be enjoyed here: Craig Ford - Mountain Series. These beautiful images show that Craig is a multi-faceted artist, and his skill set can be adapted to more traditional landscapes.
