Micheal Craig Martin

Micheal Craig-Martin was born in Dublin, 28 of August in 1941. He is a contemporary conceptual artist and painter. He follows the movement Conceptualism which basically means all the planning and decisions are made beforehand and execution is a perfunctory affair.

I think he is a unique artist because he uses everyday objects and turns it into artwork. He may just use one one object with bold colours to a montage of everyday objects like he's done in the picture above.

My thoughts on Michael Craig Martin is that for someone who didn't know about his work just would think he is very naive because he uses everyday objects and chooses to expand or minimise it to his choosing but on the other hand you hardly see any artist doing this nowadays - taking something so simple and using it in a form of art. Most artist always think outside the box whereas I think Micheal thought inside the box and created an artwork so simple but work effectively at the same time.
