"Vase and Nest" oil on linen painting with vase and nest and butterflies

2011

About the Item

David Kroll Vase and Nest, 2011 oil on linen 32" x 28" Artist David Kroll is known for his finely crafted paintings—precise still lives and exquisite landscapes that allude to both the Dutch Baroque and 19th century Romanticism. His richly glazed and elegant works have a quiet sense of splendor, balance and stillness. They foreground beautiful birds, elegant koi fish, delicate bird’s eggs and gorgeous porcelain vessels against dramatic backgrounds of mysterious landscapes. Remarkably detailed in his work, Kroll has explained that he paints a peaceful and classical version of the world: “I paint refuges, places to go for solace. I want my paintings to be destinations of quiet and calm.” His work is a subtle commentary on man’s relationship to nature. The traditions of American painting are an essential reference for him, as Kroll has stated: “I feel a link to America’s early landscape painters. Whereas they document the progress of civilization with its attendant loss of the wild and the unknown, I want to reclaim the wilderness. We can no longer experience unknown wild areas. We can visit designated wild areas, parks. We have become removed from nature, both physically and intellectually. Yet I believe a connection to nature is needed. It seems ingrained in our psyche.” David Kroll received his BFA from San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. He taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for 20 years, and now has studios in both Washington State and Mexico.

  • Night Season (Impressionistic Oil Painting of Tiger Striped Cat on a Porch)
    By David Konigsberg
    Located in Hudson, NY
    56 x 58 x 2 inches oil on canvas, white wood frame Through expressionistic gestures and a sophisticated handling of paint, David Konigsberg's works take on a life of their own, so that even inanimate objects seem filled with energy and intent. This painting captures a delightful scene of a lazy cat taking a nap in the abundant late afternoon light on a porch. David Konigsberg is a conceptual realist who works across media and painting genres to portray transitional spaces, metaphoric moments and alternative histories. A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work. The artist’s work has been exhibited throughout out the United States and has been featured in The New York Times, Chronogram and Brooklyn Journal and numerous art and culture blogs. David Konigsberg lives and works in Hudson, New York. RESUME Selected Exhibitions: · Nigh Season (2014) · Troposphere (2012) · Largo Arenula (2008) Allen Sheppard Gallery...
