Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by David Kroll
The Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is presenting an exhibition entitled, Recent Paintings, featuring works by David Kroll. The exhibit which begins May 2 and continues through June 7, 2003, is the second solo exhibition at Hidell Brooks for Kroll.
Kroll recently moved from Chicago where he was teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago and now resides in Seattle, WA, painting full time. He received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. Kroll recently had a solo exhibition at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Indiana. His paintings can be found in the collections of the Microsoft Corporation, Philip Morris and AT & T.
Kroll uses a repertoire of lush backdrops of sepia-toned landscapes foregrounded with isolated objects such as vases, fruit, birds and butterflies. In his own words, Kroll says, "I paint refuges, places to go for solace. I want my paintings to be destinations of quiet and calm. However, this world is fragile. The elements in the foregrounds are items carefully constructed, either by humans or animals. Yet, they are objects easily broken or destroyed. Birds represent messengers from the wild. They embody beauty and fragility. They are visitors that remind us of lands beyond, wilderness. The distant landscapes in my paintings are remembrances of the natural past, vaguely familiar and pleasing".
