The Square, 2010
Mixed-media, 15.5" x 19.25" half-inch wood particle board. An astounding new painting by Maxon Crumb. This composition of inter-related figures represents a new direction for the artist. Concentrating especially on the mediums, The Square mixes rosin, oil pastel, charcoal, graphite and oil paint to effect a luminous work of unique complexity.
Intricate shapes swirl within structured, marbled planes. Dots of bright and delicate hue swim in distinctive pools of color that shimmer as light induces ever-delightful change across the painting. The Square is anything but "square" - it is a constant challenge and joy to the imagination from one of our most original artists today.
