DESCRIPTION
Acrylic on Canvas | 2019
Coinciding with the artist’s relocation to Brooklyn in 2017, Kraus’s new works reflect on interventions in built environments. In the 12.17.17 series, the artist draws the viewer’s attention downward, across gridded, intermingling textures of concrete and grass.
Jeff Kraus produced this recent suite of paintings while in residency at Tappan. Minimal compositions at first glance, they reflect the true grit of the odd pockets that subsist within Los Angeles, capturing the texture and heat of a city through grainy deposits and scrapes of vibrant materials.
DIMENSIONS
16 x 14 inches
AUTHENTICITY
Signed by the artist.
“The paint appears to have been melted in the sun, scraped across the canvas as if over asphalt.”

“Mistakes often become the final piece. I like to be surprised in the studio. Old works inform new works, along with failed attempts and piles of trashed material.”
