Lake Superior Landscapes, Nudes & Abstracts

media release: Craig Blacklock will take you on a visual journey of his 50-year evolution as an artist, which began with 4x5 view cameras, and now includes drone-mounted cameras and incorporates AI sharpening and upscaling software to create unique abstractions. 

Craig began his career in 1976, creating large-format color landscape photographs interspersed with wildlife, from Florida to Alaska. His images became staples in calendars and magazines, gaining him an international following. In the mid-1980s, Craig began focusing his work on Lake Superior, resulting in most of his 19 books, including his award-winning titles The Lake Superior Images, A Voice Within — The Lake Superior Nudes, and his most recent, Light Waves — Abstract Photographs of Reflections from Lake Superior.

Experiments while creating the Light Waves images led Craig to develop a growing body of abstract work that is being heralded as almost a new medium. Today, he divides his time between these abstracts and completing a 50-year retrospective of his Lake Superior landscapes.

Several of his nudes were included in the recently released book The Nature of Human Beauty, published by Model Society. Craig sells his work through his Blacklock Gallery in Moose Lake, Minnesota, and on singulart.com
