About the artist, the work, the practice, and the KRITOR project

KRITOR IS THE PRACTICE NAME OF MELBOURNE ARTIST KRISTIAN TORCASIO.

[KRITOR MAKES THINGS, A CHOICE MADE AT 17 TO NOT TAKE TIME FOR GRANTED.]

I IDENTIFY WITH EXPRESSIONISM. I LAYER MEDIUMS UNTIL A PICTURE ARRIVES, THEN LIVE WITH THE WORK FOR MONTHS, WATCHING IT DEVELOP AND ALLOWING THE PROCESS TO BECOME REFLECTIVE.

I OFTEN PLACE MYSELF WITHIN THE WORK, SURROUNDED BY AN EVENT, PLACE, OR MOMENT FROM MY LIFE. I TRAVEL FINDING THE NEXT STORY TO TELL, FULL OF LOVE, HATRED, REGRET AND REMORSE. GUILT MAY EAT ME ALIVE BUT MY WORK WILL.
