Hi friends!
We continue to get acquainted with the art objects of the most famous sculptor of our time Tony Cragg. Tony Cragg's early works are mainly made of waste-tires, pieces of plastic, pallets, children's toys, etc.From the mid-70s to the early 80s, the young sculptor presented compositions of primary structures, as well as colorful, relief works on the floor and walls of various galleries. Tony Cragg created these objects by combining individual fragments of mixed materials by color or shape, forming large images.

Throughout the 90's Tony Cragg continued to develop two large groups of works, which are replenished today. These are "Early forms"and" Sentient beings." "Early forms" is a possibility of different familiar containers – vases, chemical vessels, plastic bottles, etc. – to correlate in space and create new sculptures, playing with projections, recesses, folds and shadows.
Before you the work of Tony Cragg, 1998. It's called "Destructive landscape", (1999). I always think about how glass products are transported around the world. No wonder the work is called "Destructive landscape". Glass, as well as life, so fragile that at any moment can be destroyed

Tony Cragg is the winner of many prestigious prizes and awards. His large – scale sculptural works can be seen in many cities of European countries-primarily in his second hometown of Wuppertal, as well as in Austria and others. I really like the unconventional thinking of the sculptor. His work greatly cleanses the head of debris

Tony Cragg's sculptures are often compared to works of primitive art for their primitive form and obvious imitation of nature. Tony Cragg at all interested in history and harbors weakness to natural science museums, however, exactly in the least, in which they can satisfy his interest sculptor.

One of the most famous works, although it retains traces of red-made, symbolizes the gradual departure of Craig from the specifics of the "garbage" protest in the direction of abstract work with color and shape. Giant upward-looking cones, assembled from some industrial mechanisms, - in fact, the artist repeats in them the same focus as before, but only now he does it at times cleaner and thinner. Avoiding direct references, he conveys his idea only with the help of soft, like a patina on bronze, colors, deftly refracting the viewer's perception-forcing to see what is not.
