THE ARTS 142 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 4.17 GEOFF CROWE Geoff Crowe does it all. When I visit the 56-year-old in his workshop in Old Louisville, he shows me abstract sculptures, abstract paintings as long as dining tables and smaller portraits. When it comes to painting, there are two subjects to which Crowe keeps returning: ballet and horse racing. "is goes back to really where I got started and what I became known for when I first started painting, and that is movement," he says. Both oroughbreds and ballet dancers exhibit grace, strength, precision in motion — perfect attributes for Crowe's style, which is always tilting toward the abstract. He shows me a large painting of a horse race, which I mistake for a tree-lined landscape. "at's great!" he says. "e stiffer I get — stiffer being more exact — the more horrific my work looks." Crowe's paintings and sculptures will show at the Mellwood's Pigment Gallery from Derby Week through the end of May.
