Dylan Solomon KRAUS: The Seventh Point on the Six Sided Die
Finding freedom in one’s work depends upon embracing the unknown. The importance of leaving room for imagination and intuition in the art making process yields a practice that has the ability to grow and change with the artist. How does the artist establish such relationships to their work and the studio environment? Kraus will discuss his process, from inspiration to execution, and his personal relationship to painting as a recipe for artistic creation. The lecture will be about techniques to refine one’s practice such as repetition, improvisation, and reframing. Finally, examining a spectrum of artistic approaches by looking at historical and contemporary figures from the cave paintings to Rita Ackerman.
Dylan Solomon Kraus (b. 1987 in Ohio, US) explores through visual imagery the relationships between the individual and the whole. Using motifs of the outer world to describe inner experience Kraus develops a personal vocabulary within his paintings. In his work, references of solar systems, cityscapes, and universal symbols serve as riddles, asking the viewer to reflect on potential connections present between the outer world and the inner self. Kraus graduated from The Cooper Union School of Art in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include Peres Projects, Berlin (2023), Seoul and Milan (2022), Almine Rech, London (2022), Mamoth, London (2020), and Entrance, New York (2018). He has also participated in a number of group exhibitions in New York, including Europa (2022), Tramps (2020), and Jack Hanley (2019). He was also part of the group exhibition ‘La saison creuse’.
The lecture will be held in English.
