Niall MacCrann | At Midsummer Fair 3

Niall MacCrann’s painting and printmaking floats around themes such as contactless living and our relationships with our bodies. His practice begins with observational drawing/painting, often in streets or eateries, or in the life drawing studio. These serve as source material for larger works that explore immersion in urban and imagined surroundings. He focuses on the human figure, including sketching from life in oil, to build up a vocabulary of this highly communicative subject.

MacCrann wipes, scratches, scours, burnishes, dabs and splatters in monoprint, etching and drypoint, aiming to produce images of the body that shout that they've been produced by a human.

For RB Kitaj the figure was “like beacons of where art has been and of a newer art life to come”; these beacons in Paula Rego, Lisa Brice, Edgar Degas (especially his monotypes) influence MacCrann’s work greatly.
