John Craig began his artistic life as many artists do, feeling drawn to form and the physical aspects of life. The influence of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art, along with the monumental architecture of the Ancients, played an important role in seeding his life as a sculptor. John Craig credits a childhood visit to the British Museum in London, especially the Parthenon Room, as giving birth to his journey for self-actualization.
After achieving a minor in Fine Arts from the University of Western Ontario, John Craig moved to Paris, France. There he spent two years studying that city's art and architecture, spending hours in contemplation at the Rodin Museum.
In his work, John Craig captures and expands upon the transitional relationships between abstraction and realism, geometry and fluidity, movement and pause. These are the myriad threads which interweave to form the fabric of a John Craig Bronze; a dichotomous fabric that, when reinterpreted in bronze, carries with it that subtle tension which brings a work of art to life.
