Just went down a little rabbit hole of CONCRETE paintings! I was looking up the artists that I am exhibiting alongside; Craig Smith and Steven Baddeley, and I stumbled across a South African artist called Craig Smith that works in CONCRETE. Mind blown. I’m not sure why I’m so drawn to it but I think it’s because its gritty, raw, and tactile… and unexpected. Smith uses it with charcoal, as does Leszek Skurski whose work I was drawn to also which features small black figures in an abstract landscape. Another Australian artist Ben Parker works exclusively in concrete, some in natural greys, others in colour, all abstract.
