About the Item

Acrylic, spraypaint, oilbar, oil on linen Krieger began making her “Day Dreams” paintings in the spring of 2023 in Cedarmere Estate in Roslyn Harbor, NY, close to the artist’s home. Throughout the season Krieger painted from one location in the preserve, moving her easel to capture various angles and vistas. This process allowed her to become intimately familiar with this specific landscape, whose growth and changes she chronicled over many months. Painted largely wet on wet, or alla prima, Krieger applies brushstrokes swiftly, delineating new bursts of overgrown foliage, seemingly in real time. The brushstrokes blend, overlap and fragment, as layers dissolve into each other and forms dominate and recede. Every movement of the artist’s brush is evident and intentional; one or two simple strokes define a cattail, flower bud or leaf. Patterns emerge amidst the plethora of shapes and lines, resulting in a surface that undulates with pronounced texture. Both absence and presence of paint take equal importance on Krieger’s canvases. In such packed compositions, select moments of restraint are subtle but impactful. Krieger explains that the energy and whimsy she captures is a nod to Charles Burchfield’s visionary landscapes. Like Burchfield, she aims to breathe life into the depictions and portray living scenes rather than mimicking mother nature. Birches, weeds, leaves, cattails and more weave throughout the dense landscape inviting one in, but also hinting at what is hidden behind the rich foliage. Earth presents in warm, maroon and russet tones that glow; a red curtain acts as a stage for a burst of green tangles. Unlikely color partners of warm reds and oranges sit quite happily with bright jewel tones. Hot, lively colors hint to summer heat and autumn leaves to come. Vibrant oranges mark the presence of the titular fireflies and jewelweed, but also the sun, flowers, stars and dappled sunlight. The at times oppressive orange sun and sky were influenced by the unforgettable day the skies of New York were stained orange by Canadian wildfires in June 2023. Krieger’s paintings highlight the magical quality and spirituality of nature; trees often bracket the composition in an altarpiece-esque fashion as tendrils of green burst and fan out across the space. Krieger immortalizes and venerates this refuge while highlighting its temporality. Though these greens will wilt and disappear, Krieger’s paintings also lead us to the understanding that life will return, more will grow, there will be a next season.
