Immerse yourself in the exceptional light, fluid textures, and rugged, vigorous brushwork of Vincent Crotty, a celebrated artist featured at Go Native Gallery. Born in Ireland and working out of Boston since 1990, Vincent masterfully synthesizes his early trade foundations in traditional Irish sign painting with a classical, contemporary representational style. Rooted heavily in the 'Ashcan School' legacy of working-class documentation, his striking oil-on-canvas compositions, such as Behind Franks Liquor Store, Canandaigua, NY, Cow and Calf, and Hell's Kitchen, capture evocative places and faces along both sides of the Atlantic. Painting directly from life as often as possible, his intuitive plein-air method infuses everyday subject matter with a captivating layer of immediacy and emotional depth.
