David Kroll: New Paintings at Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC
Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is pleased to announce their first solo exhibition for David Kroll on view June 1 through July 21. In conjunction with this exhibition, a full colored exhibition catalog has been published with an essay written by the artist. Kroll lives and works in Chicago, IL where he teaches painting at the Chicago Art Institute.
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 to 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 form 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."
