Sven Kroner
Yvon Lambert Gallery
550 W 21st StYvon Lambert New York is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by Sven Kroner in the USA. Entitled Hidden Path, the exhibition will include ten paintings from 2007, by Kroner (born 1973, Kempten, Germany). Concurrent with the exhibition at Yvon Lambert, a museum survey show of Kroner’s work is being held at the Gemeentemueum Helmond, in Holland.
For the exhibition Hidden Path, Kroner has painted landscapes familiar to him since childhood, yet these do not refer to a specific moment or experience. Some landscapes are empty, some have signs of human life. As Merel von Tilburg (Université de Genève) has written, “the landscapes belong to our own age, an age in which nature is no longer automatically invested with romantic associations; humans have charted it and taken possession of it. Even if the landscape contains no human figures, the artist suggests the presence of human life with footprints or objects…. People inhabit the landscape or enjoy their natural surroundings: they walk or camp in it, or simply linger there”.
In addition to the current museum survey show at the Gemeentemuseum Helmond, Holland, past solo museum exhibitions have been held at the Landesmuseum, Mainz, and the Kunstverein Xanten, Germany. Kroner’s work has been included in Die Sammlung Hanck, Museum Kunst Palast, Dusseldorf, Figuring the Landscape, Contemporary Art Galleries at the University of Connecticut, Vincent van Gogh en het Expressionisme, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, How High Can You Fly, Kunsthaus Glarus, Switzerland, and Traumschiff Malerei, Museum der Stadt Ratingen, Ratingen, Germany. Recent gallery solo shows include Witterung, Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam, Be on my side, Sies + Höke Galerie, Düsseldorf, and Islands, Galerie Anne de Villepoix, Paris.
The exhibition Hidden Path is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Merel van Tilburg of the Université de Genève.
