An artist's celebration of beauty

Jereme Crow Artist

Golden Spray

I was born in Cumbria, England in 1974, but never really settled anywhere.

Living for a time in Europe and Asia. For the moment south east Kent is home.

I have done a variety of things to earn a living and subsidise being an artist.

I joined the army at sixteen. Left and went to art school, then spent five years working as a boat builder.

Most recently practicing Drawing and Talking therapy with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Statement

Hamlet and Ophelia

"An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it." Fernando Botero.

So to attempt to explain my paintings would be an after thought. They are a celebration and exploration of the beauty of colour and the human form.

I am attracted to dance as a source of inspiration because of the endless compositions created by the human form. The beauty, energy and emotion that is captured through movement.

Art is beauty. Capturing a feeling, or an idea and through the use of a subject attempting to create something beautiful.
