Craig Waddell

Overview

Craig Waddell’s art is dangerously intrusive. It holds the kind of perfection, artistic gestures, and tactility that gets right in side your noggin, has a good feel around, and leaves without so much as a goodbye kiss. From birds, to flowers, to the most perfect strawberry glazed donut in the world, his art presents a world we know, in a dimension that’s far more intuitive. Now, he’ll be showcasing his latest work at Edwina Corlette Gallery until the 28^th of June.

Waddell has exhibited throughout Australia and racked up a number of awards to match. He won the Mosman Prize in 2010, the Woollahra Small Sculpture Price and the Tattersalls Art Prize for Landscape Painting in 2005, and the Paddington and the Norville Australian Landscape Prizes both in 2004. And he's also been a finalist in the Archibald Prize- no big deal.

All of Waddell’s pieces will be for sale, so if you’re stuck on a birthday present, and have a spare grand or two in the couch, don’t be afraid to invest a little. Waddell isn’t an artist whose up and coming – he’s one that’s beyond uped and camed, and still going miles in his sublime and imperfect art.
