BIO

Rah Crawford is an accomplished visual artist and creative pioneer. His work often presents new approaches to traditional narratives, systems, and processes. As a storyteller, Rah’s artwork offers a uniquely diverse perspective through a compelling visual narrative. The art book “Welcome to Earth—Rah Crawford’s Art Experience" documents his decade-spanning four-part exhibition and introduces a new approach to art called Npic-Art. Rah, a TEDx speaker and former organizer, believes that intuitive insight, inspiration, and creativity are tools for realizing humankind’s greatest potential.

Rah Crawford’s artwork has been exhibited in notable cities such as Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York, Amsterdam, and London. The shoes he wore while painting are displayed in the permanent collection at the SONS Museum in Belgium. In the United States, Rah’s work has been auctioned for the Young Benefactors of the Smithsonian Museum, and 6ABC News once reported, “Rah Crawford has arrived on the art scene and is helping to change the face of contemporary art.” The New York Times has described Rah's work as "buoyant," "exuberant," and "optimistic." Arthistoryarchive.com includes him on a short list of 17 Neo-Pop artists whose work defines the genre, alongside Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons. 

After 20 years on the gallery circuit, Rah Crawford has retired as an 'exhibiting fine artist' and has expanded his creative interests through his company World Owned. With a focus on visual art, design, and creative storytelling for the arts and entertainment industries, Rah continues to strive for the masterpiece in all that he does.
