Craig Delaney
Craig Says: ‘My work explores the intersections of consumerism, capitalism, and the pharmaceutical industry, using the blister pack as a central motif. This everyday object symbolizes both care and control, reflecting how our lives are commodified under late capitalism.
Through painting, I examine the rituals of consumption and health, highlighting our reliance on pharmaceuticals while critiquing the profit-driven systems behind them. By blending clinical aesthetics with human textures, I aim to disrupt the invisibility of these systems, inviting viewers to question their role in cycles of consumption and control.
My work is a call to awareness, reclaiming agency through art and challenging the narratives of health and happiness sold to us.’
