Albert Kresch "Landscapes, Landshapes"
Lohin Geduld Gallery
This event has ended.
The buzz about the merits of Albert Kresch’s work has been going on for decades. He was a student of Hans Hofmann, and a member of the influential circle of artists that formed around the Jane Street Gallery. These artists, including Leland Bell, Louisa Matthiasdottir, Nell Blaine and Larry Rivers, eschewed the prevailing abstract impulses of the day to forge a figurative movement whose roots were founded in European Modernism.
Kresch has been dubbed a “painter’s painter,” meaning that his work displays intrinsic strengths valued by artists. However, he is also a populist artist who delivers pleasure and satisfaction with each picture. Despite their diminutive size, his landscapes stretch out far and wide, pulsating with color, joy and mystery.
Kresch overlays saturated colors on muted grounds, creating surges of space and emotion. Not unlike the stained-glass-inspired Georges Rouault, Kresch conjures up the fleeting moments of the magic hour when light, color and atmosphere take on a poetic resonance.
