Waygood @ Northern Stage: Glen Cruddas

Paintings
Glen Cruddas
Waygood @ Northern Stage 23 October – 14 November 09 Reception: 6-8pm Thursday 12 November

Glenn’s figurative paintings explore his fascinations with the human figure and the painting process, where he never looses sight of the fact that he is creating a painting. Exploration of the medium and method of application is as important as exploration of the figure depicted.

“My work is based in the borders of memory and interpretation; we all see what we want to see. My interpretation comes through a physical process where I enjoy the application of the materials. My studio practice is currently on hold while I develop my career in education. I am researching how motor skills (drawing) can help cognitive learning.” – Glenn Cruddas

Glenn Cruddas has a studio at Waygood.

This is part of a series of exhibitions at Northern Stage featuring art from Waygood, an artist-led gallery and studios undergoing a major redevelopment to create a new cultural venue on High Bridge in the centre of Newcastle opening in 2010.
