The following is a digital gallery of Shawn McCraney’s acrylic art. Shawn is artistically oriented and cannot help but see life, God and most things in existence from this world view. This natural trait and inclination are most obvious in his teachings and writings and in the principles and connections he makes in them but can also be seen in his attempts at materially expressing his mind through the deconstruction of perfectly produced ½ panels of acrylic – which are typically black. Facing pieces of these mass produced panels, Shawn employs power tools (sanders, routers, angle-saws, drills, sandblasters) and deconstructs their perfect surfaces as a means to represent not only a message but a message that is produced though deconstruction, destruction and through a process that is painful, marring and at times utterly out of control. Shawn has also included some mix mediums in this process of deconstruction including steel, wires, spray paint, acrylic paint, glass and even cement. The last four years he has put his hand to recreating biblical events and characters through these unique expressions.
