#Exhibitions

Michael Craig-Martin is a conceptual artist and contemporary painter of Irish origin born in 1941. He is known both as an artist and as a teacher. He is known for having promoted and adopted Young British Artists including Damien Hirst, Angus Fairhurst, Mat Collishaw. He is also known for one of his conceptual artworks, An Oak Tree. Since he rose to fame in the late 1960s, Michael Craig-Martin has moved between sculpture, installation, painting, drawing and printmaking, creating works that blend elements of pop, minimalism and conceptual art. His work transforms everyday objects - from buckets and ladders to smartphones and iPads - with bold colors and simple, unyielding lines. This at the Royal Academy of Arts is the largest exhibition of Craig-Martin's work ever held in the UK.
