Micah Crandall-Bear is a contemporary painter and Sacramento native whose abstract landscape paintings examine Earth’s intrinsic resources and their accelerated transformation through linear layers cascading from atmospheric to subterranean. His canvases are heavily layered acrylic works built through a wet-on-wet technique that creates smooth, expansive color fields, and his style evolved from figurative urban works incorporating text and graffiti elements into his current refined stripe and color field paintings. His work is in the permanent collections of the Crocker Art Museum, Facebook, HBO, Visa, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Resnick Foundation, and a recent large-scale indoor mural was completed at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
