Reaching New Heights Original Art by Craig Foord
Mixed Media Painting
Framed: 105cm x 145cm
This dramatic alpine scene showcases Foord's masterful command of texture and light. The artwork captures majestic mountain peaks rendered in crisp whites and deep blacks, with subtle blue shadows creating depth while pristine snow catches the brilliant high-altitude light.
Drawing from his unique background combining tree surgery with fine art, Foord's distinctive style is evident in his bold handling of paint and intuitive understanding of natural forms. Each textured stroke contributes to the painting's sense of scale and grandeur, creating a piece that perfectly captures the awe-inspiring presence of mountain summits through his characteristic emphasis on dramatic contrast and atmospheric effect.
About The Artist
Craig John Foord (b. 1986, Brighton) brings a unique perspective to contemporary art by combining his experience as a tree surgeon with his artistic practice. After completing his National Diploma in Art and Design at Eastbourne College, Foord developed a distinctive approach to sculpture, uniquely employing chainsaw techniques to shape resin works before refining them to elemental perfection.
His artistic vision spans both sculpture and painting, with recent work exploring abstract themes inspired by his fascination with outer space and planetary exploration. This dual mastery of three-dimensional and two-dimensional mediums showcases his versatility and innovative approach to contemporary art.
