About the Item
Acrylic, spraypaint, oilbar, oil on linen
During the days of painting en plein air, Krieger describes how she began to dream about painting while sleeping, and thus turned those night visions into this series of night time paintings. In these, we see the landscape transformed into a dream-like setting. These surrealist imaginings of the natural world place Krieger’s paintings within a cohort of contemporary women painters reimagining the tradition of the landscape genre, such as Shara Hughes, Lily Prince and Allison Green.
Krieger’s intuitive process is particularly evident in these larger works. Patterning plays a stronger role in this group of paintings and the concept of space carries less import than their daytime predecessors. Leaves, vines and flowers reach across the plane in repetitive, rhythmic shapes. Broad large leaf forms and washes are juxtaposed with small delicately drawn vine-like forms and flowers. Swirling spirals move amidst dense and patterned foliage, reflecting and radiating light, indicating a breeze or hypnotic movement.
Throughout her career Krieger has strived to capture nature’s energy, electromagnetic forces and the movements we cannot see. Radiant orbs multiply across each canvas and shine through breaks in the sky. Flowers and fireflies—painted with fluorescent orange that glows under ultraviolet light—mirror each other from the earth and sky, reaching, ascending and descending across the plane. Krieger challenges our concept of space by blurring the boundaries between foreground and background, sky and earth, lending a dreamlike, mystical quality to the paintings.
In her bold brushwork and vibrating palette we can see the inspiration of Odilon Redon, David Hockney, Lynne Drexler and Vincent van Gogh. The introduction of deep, warm purples and blues evoke the stifling, hot atmosphere of a warm summer night. Krieger favors a palette of l'heure bleue, the moment just before sunrise or after sunset. This magical light tints the lush scenes, rich with fireflies dancing across the sky and plants blooming and intermingling. The mind is inclined to perceive these sinuous plants as figures dancing in the night. Marks of metallic oil stick shift light and create a glittering effect that along with the pervading jewel tones of the “Night Visions” allude to the precious rarity of these moments.
