One hand pours sugar, while the other tussles mechanically. At the next table, a computer is already heating up, connected to a hidden outlet under the bench. The chair creaks discreetly when you settle in. A phone vibrates, two fingers slide on the screen, then come back to land on a barely touched spoon. Nothing exceptional, on the surface. Just one more morning, with his automatic gestures.

Without this spoon, let&#8217;s be honest, without it, it&#8217;s difficult to eat. No faithful chair, or that cable that connects you to the world. These objects are there, discreet, constant, and effective. They fulfil their <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/our-monthly-theme-for-may-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">function<\/a> without ever being noticed. And maybe that&#8217;s the problem: we don&#8217;t look at them anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a7ba00f917cb249046faa20c6cc0e346 wp-block-paragraph\">Why not give them a moment of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-art-of-gratitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gratitude<\/a>?

Through his collection of everyday objects: a light bulb, a clothespin, a glass, or a watch. He persuades us to see them again. He isolates them and colours them until they shine. And suddenly, what was banal becomes almost sacred. He reminds us that the function can be a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/formless-and-fearless-poetrys-new-edition\/\">poetry<\/a>.<br \/><br \/>Based in London, where he lived and worked for decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/juxtaposed-frieze-not-so-cold\/\">Michael Craig-Martin<\/a> exhibits these paintings of reinvented objects at the Cristea Roberts Gallery. In the process of transmitting knowledge, he also taught at Goldsmiths College, where he helped shape a whole generation of contemporary British artists. Among those he influenced are Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Gary Hume, and Julian Opie, each of whom is now recognised for their distinctive style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-27b16580350ba7006a45a6fe3caeba7c wp-block-paragraph\">In recognition of his significant contributions to the art world, Michael Craig-Martin was honoured by Queen Elizabeth II. In 2000, he was awarded a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), and later, in 2016, he was knighted as a Knight Bachelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a885c7ecd6baf9687ce286487b73e820 wp-block-paragraph\">This summer, a selection of his prints will be on display at the Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition, <em>Everyday Objects<\/em>, features 23 works that highlight his highly chromatic use of colour and his distinctive line drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?resize=580%2C638&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Folio (2004) Michael Craig-Martin\" class=\"wp-image-177899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?resize=931%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 931w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?resize=273%2C300&amp;ssl=1 273w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?resize=768%2C845&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/In-Praise-Of-The-Forgotten-Objects-Around-Us4.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-170ff6f4a4790b253439f83a4239c3ed wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Michael Craig-Martin &#8220;Folio&#8221; 2004<\/em> <em>Portfolio of Twelve Screenprints <br \/>12 7\/8 x 39 3\/8&#8243; (32.7 x 100 cm) each <br \/>\u00a9 Michael Craig-Martin.
