Bloom

By Matthew Craven

Matthew Craven first welcomed readers to his handmade universe in 2018's PRIMER, a deep dive into his monumental and meticulous drawing and collage practice. Since then, the artist's work has only broadened in scope; where he previously used painstaking assemblages and labyrinthine patterns to span the scope of human cultures and symbolic languages, Craven has now expanded his focus to the botanical kingdom as well. The result is BLOOM, a visual feast that juxtaposes colorful geometric abstraction with the organic shapes of flowers and plants. More than a simple artist's monograph, BLOOM is a work in and of itself, a vivid exploration of nature's unruly beauty and a more than worthy follow-up to its beloved predecessor.
