CRAIG MOONEY

Craig’s focus is in painting large, semi-abstract landscapes inspired by his surroundings. There is a strong emotional undercurrent to his work. Because Mooney does not paint specific places, his work seems to evoke a sense of familiarity in viewers. Growing up in such a cramped and congested environment as Manhattan instilled in the artist a great sense of curiosity and appreciation for wide-open spaces. His paintings appear to capture a moment suspended in time. While his work feels familiar, it’s not specific; rather it is, on a very basic level, symbolism of what could have been, has been, or will be.
