Produced in Zac Craig’s studio in regional NSW, Soft Conversations is an exploration of co-existing planes and points of reference. His works are non-representational and yet filled with forms that are clearly linked to the natural world. Throughout his participation in many international residencies, Craig has explored the nature of painting. “I continue the long process of learning to paint and learning what paint is. I endeavour through the act of painting to further my comprehension of my materials and how to handle them effectively – to pull forth each pigment's intrinsic characteristics when requested by the painting.” Zac has been supported as a Foyer Program recipient with Gosford Regional Gallery to present this body of work in the Foyer Gallery.
