Craig Wats' work displays an affinity for subtle cultural criticism, 20th century design, and the post-minimal art object. His recent work includes a white Formica piece entitled European Workbench, a series of machine-carved polyurethane wall reliefs, an aluminum and polyurethane wall column, and works on paper. Wats' sculptural work represents the artist's interest in the racial and economic identifications implied in design and iconography as inseparable from the "reading" of the aesthetic experience. This commodified form of information inferred through his work unfixes these codes of identity from the inside and questions the importance of authenticity in one's claim to a particular set of images.

Craig Wats received an MFA from the University of California in Davis. He has exhibited his work in exhibitions at Steffany Martz, New York, and in Hold It Now, Hit It, curated by Derek Eller, New York.
