DESCRIPTION
Oil on canvas | 2018
In this series Krause examines her fascination with reality versus simulated reality. In a cultural landscape where we are constantly curating multiple versions of ourselves, there is an endless amount of perceptions one can have regarding who they are or how they appear. Within her practice she takes a known object, something familiar and tangible, and then morphs it beyond even her own recognition of the original visual source. Though the object and idea has been altered drastically, there are hints of intimate details that relate to the viewer.

“I hope to convey the same sense of questioning and wonder that I have. I think everything can be looked at a second time or in a different light”

About the Artist
Alyssa Krause
One of the youngest artists in The Miller Museum’s 2021 exhibition on abstraction, Krause’s large colorful paintings focus on generating a response of familiarity in an unfamiliar form as a way to question the parameters of perception.
