NIKI KRIESE

NIKI KRIESE [2007, Painting]

Based in Croton, NY

As an abstract painter, Niki Kriese aims to confuse the space in what could be landscape, still lives, or action shots, all at once. At the same time, moments of recognizability offer hints to the specific details, which bring the viewer back into our world. She thinks of her process as describing location with verbs. Rather than starting with a landscape in mind, Kriese sets up a combination of space, gesture and weight, and pushes the tension by playing with variations on figure/ground relationships.

Available for commissioned work.
