JOHN CRONIN

“He puts the “juice” back into modernist painting, after Greenberg’s post-painterly theory squeezed it out.”

— Donald Kuspit

JOHN CRONIN

Born in Dublin in 1966, and graduating from the National College of Art and Design in 1988, John Cronin has been exhibiting since the late 1980s. In the intervening years his work has been seen in Europe, U.S. and Asia. His work has been exhibited alongside the likes of Cecily Browne, Ian Davenport, Mark Francis, Howard Hodgkin, Callum Inness, Jason Martin and Seán Scully.

While his work's primary concern is abstract painting in the age of artificial intelligence, the titles of his exhibitions often reflect a desire to add a thematic twist to each new body of work. Through a diverse range of exhibitions, including Standard Deviation, Augmented Reality, Manumit, Surd, Serein, MHz, Taint, Palinode, ZXX and Warme Nights, Fat Ground, Sweete Dewes, And Misty Mornings we have seen him continually extend the language of his practice.

John Cronin is represented by Green On Red Gallery, Dublin.
