Craig Becker
March 6 – May 2, 2025
About This Exhibition
Masks had been a central theme in Craig Becker’s work for more than a decade when the events of 2020 rocked our country.“Maybe it was the sense of instability, but my total lack of creative response was quite puzzling. With time and perspective, ideas began surfacing, resulting in this body of work,” says Becker. “This work is about our current state of vulnerability, the subconscious, and the corners of ourselves, individually and collectively, that exist in darkness.”
