Night Light
The Pluff Mudd Gallery in Bluffton is celebrating the art of John Crum as their April Artist of the Month. Crum’s art can be best described as “gently surreal,” offering a dreamlike quality that invites viewers to explore and interpret each piece in their own unique way. It’s art that makes you smile.
With a background in whimsical illustration, John’s work is infused with curiosity and fantasy, creating narrative landscapes that spark imagination and evoke emotion. Through layers of vibrant color and imaginative scenes, John’s paintings aim to break from reality and ignite thought, memories, and ideas.
Each painting is a journey, filled with happy accidents and unexpected discoveries,
A Field of Dreams
leaving viewers with a sense of wonder and a smile. John’s technique of starting with loose sketches and building up layers of color creates a depth that draws viewers in and encourages them to delve deeper into the hidden images, messages and meanings within each piece.
Ultimately, John’s goal is to create art that resonates with the viewer, offering a break from the ordinary and a glimpse into a world where imagination is limitless.
