HELLO AGAIN! I have been locked out of this blog page for a few years - is it ironic, as so much of my work is about AI and technology? Anyway I got it back so here's a heads up as to where to find me and what's going on. My website is   https://www.johncroninstudio.com/   and my Instagram is  https://www.instagram.com/johncroninstudio/     I have a new body of work,  ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY,  which will be exhibited at the Green on Red Gallery in March 2024. More to come later..... The new body of work is  ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY here is a bit about it. The ABC paintings are a witness to their coming into being – a process at once slick and crude, with elements of the works breaking down both compositionally and in their very materiality – once-luscious oil paint is cracked, dried and exhausted, arid patches vie with free-flowing organic rivers of paint, watched over by morphing, pathologising and destructive elements. The colours, while less kaleidoscopic than in previous works,

John Cronin "WARME NIGHTS, FAT GROUNDE, SWEETE DEWES, AND MISTY MORNINGS" Green On Red Gallery.

WARME NIGHTS, FAT GROUNDE, SWEETE DEWES, AND MISTY MORNING John Cronin       Green On Red Gallery, Dublin. 28 Oct - 09 Dec 2017 John Cronin Warme Nights, Sweete Dewes, Fat Grounde, And Misty Mornings  2017   Oil on Canvas 41 x 61cms The Green On Red Gallery is delighted to announce John Cronin's exhibition of new paintings Warme Nights, Fat Grounde, Sweete Dewes, And Misty Mornings.  This is the artist's first solo exhibition since his very successful solo shows in VOLTA New York in March 2017 and his first solo survey exhibition, ZXX, in the Royal Hibernian Academy Gallery, Dublin 2, in 2016.  In an exciting departure for the artist Warme Nights, Fat Grounde,... sees the artist paint in oil on the softer surface of canvas and, in so doing, avails of the fabric's warp and weft with more sonorous results.  Momentary glimpses of the textured panel beneath abruptly concede to fronts of Cronin's best painting.   He makes full use of the possib

CRITIC'S GUIDE - 24 NOV 2016 GEMMA TIPTON Frieze - Critic's Guide: Dublin, GEMMA TIPTON - 24 NOV 2016 John Cronin, ZXX 8 , 2015, 1.2 x 1.8 m, oil on aluminium. Courtesy: the artist and RHA Galleries, Dublin John Cronin Royal Hibernian Academy 16 November – 21 December If Yuri Pattison looks at how technology both abets and overwhelms, John Cronin draws ideas of artificial intelligence and augmented reality into his lush abstract oil on aluminium paintings. Endeavouring to explore, and depict, how evolving technologies shape and alter perception, the results are a feast. At first, the 14 works simply shimmer and attract. There are rainbows worth of rich and vibrant colours and, with the largest pieces more than five metres long, there’s a lot to grab the attention. Spend time with them, and patterns emerge. The ZXX of the works’ titles (all except for two earlier pieces Augmented
