Robin Cracknell


I first saw this in G2 section of The Guardian in an interview with Charles Saatchi, who very rarely grants interviews. He was talking about The Saatchi's Gallery blog. One artist caught my eye. Robin Cracknell says on the Saatchi blog,
"For a while, I've been exploring the themes of loss and alienation, specifically within the context of divorce and separation. For me, the surface of the photograph is as important as the context. For the 'Wing Damage' series, I've been working with chemicals and salts and bleach as well as physically distressing images to give them that added psychological dimension of neglect and decay."
