Sea Murmurs of a Dream

2004

In this abstract work, Crichlow explores the visual and technical possibilities of the medium he works in. Elements within the painting allude to some of the forms within the title of the piece - waves, and dream like blending of colours and textures. The intensity of the piece's colors and the often considerable scale of the canvases also allow for viewers to become immersed into these abstracted forms that Crichlow employs in constructing his dream spaces.

Speaking on his use of colour in a 2013 interview, Crichlow stated:

"I start the paintings with variations of blue as a base like in music. Blue becomes a chord. From blue I can go to the contrasting colour of orange, then I can increase the vibrations with red. In music it would be like soaring through to a crescendo. From blue I might go to green and then take the intensity of green up by moving to yellow. The process is built very much on extemporising - making up, without making do."
