DescriptionCraxton knew his cats – their inner lives. Indeed, as his partner Richard Riley pointed out: ‘Craxton was so familiar with the vocabulary of cat moves, gestures and stances that he could capture them with utter conviction in a few strokes of the pen or brush’.*Here we have cat amongst the spiky daisies, shaking its worried paw, all jittery tension and taught attention as it stares across the splodgy lawn.*Andrew Lambirth: Craxton (2024) T&H.
