Westword - Artbeat, March 7, 2002 "Though he's in his late forties and has been dabbling in art for over 25 years, Doug Craft is only now emerging, and we can thus confer a kind of honorary twenty-something status on him. This show is only his second solo outing. The work - montages and collages in arrangements determined by mathematical formulas - shows a lot of promise. Craft's a master at blending found and created images and in mixing colors. A number of the pieces comprise photo images in "golden ratio" rectangles, the dimensions of which were determined by mathematical formulas resulting in shapes that, since ancient times, have been considered aesthetically pleasing. The rectangles have been lined up horizontally as seen in the three triptychs above. Craft told me he's planning to do a series of multi-panel paintings based on these same ratios. We'll stay tuned." - Michael Paglia |
