Sophie Crichton

Sophie Crichton born in Toronto in 1993, is a contemporary abstract painter currently based in Barcelona. She is recognised for her vibrant large-scale canvases, employing a diverse range of mediums including acrylic, oil stick, charcoal, inks, spray paint, and pastels. Crichton's artistic practice is deeply rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism and surrealist automatism. Best known for her visceral and colourful abstract paintings, her work is characterised by densely worked surfaces, bold tangled black lines and frenetic scratched mark-making, creating a distinct visual language that is both offbeat and expressive.
