PJ Crook: And So It Came To Pass
We are delighted to present our first solo exhibition of PJ Crook’s work. In And So It Came to Pass, Crook invites us into a world shaped by storytelling, of interactions and their consequences in her instantly recognisable style.
Crook is a figurative artist and lends her brush to a plethora of subjects: from biblical and literary allusions (Adam & Eve, St Jerome in his Study, The Owl and the Pussycat), to fantastical interactions between man, angels, and animals; from pure distillations of nature, to scenes of people gathered for a meal. The relationships of the figures remains central throughout, though often ambiguous – are they family, friends, strangers – are the subsequent interactions going to be ones of tenderness, joy, or something more sinister. It is left to the viewer to decide.
A defining characteristic of Crook’s work is the painted frame. This expansion is more than just decorative or a simple tool to enlarge a given scene – they are integral to the experience of the painting, amplifying depth and perspective.
