Irish sculptor and painter, Michael Craig Martin studied art at Yale University and went on teach at Goldsmiths (his students included Damian Hirst and Gary Hume). His early work made deliberate reference to the American artists he most admired, such as Donald Judd, Jasper Johns and Robert Morris. He was particularly affected by Minimalism and Pop Art, and often used ordinary household materials in his sculptures. This particular work illustrates Craig Martin's elegant restraint and conceptual clarity.
