Krijn Kroes
Natural phenomena form the base for Krijn Kroes’ practice. In his paintings, the artist depicts subjects like flowers, plants, water surfaces and animals, rendered almost non figurative through his hand. What emerges is not merely formal: the works appear as if a beam of light is traveling over them, and the thickness of the paint makes the image almost holographic, reflecting the light. Kroes’ works are best experienced from different angles; layers are scratched off revealing a previous layer of paint, many times symmetrical, forming a Rorschach-like image.
