CROCKER

Crocker’s paintings are quintessentially English in both their eccentricity and formal grandeur. He combines unseen or mysterious events and unexpected incongruous figures with panoramic expanses of sky and countryside. Whilst drawing on the great tradition of English landscape painting, Crocker’s work is also portentous, creating a sense of drama and emotional tension which is thoroughly of our age. Crocker graduated from Goldsmiths in 1985 and has since shown extensively in Britain as well as in the US; including Seattle, Miami and a solo show in New York. His work is held in collections in Europe, East Asia and Australia. Crocker is fascinated by the formal, often manipulated, quality of the English landscape, whether it be the West Country, the North Norfolk Coast, or his native North Yorkshire.
