Understanding Underneath - Diptych
by Ronald T. Crawford Painter
Salt Spring Island artist Ron Crawford creates art with a unique combination of plaster and acrylic paint, resulting in a modern variation on the frescoes. The surfaces are carved, shaped, sanded and painted until they take on a rich, naturally eroded appearance.

"One of the things important to me as an artist is that how something was made is as mysterious as the what it represents. I love that a work suggest to the viewer places, surfaces or even emotions that I have not intentionally set out to do. I invite the viewer to participate in order to understand. The clue of how this work is made is in the twin nature of its two parts." - Ron Crawford

Painter Ronald T. Crawford

Ronald T. Crawford’s paintings reflect both the theoretical and physical aspects of his life. On the one hand he has an extensive fine art education and has been exhibiting his work for over 30 years.

On the other hand, for the past 25 years he has had extensive experience working on Salt Spring Island with functional and sculptural stonework. His multifaceted paintings are the result of the blending of contemporary painting concerns with the earthy spiritualism of stone.
