May 2 – June 1
Square 1
Burn Strip
This exhibition will showcase paintings from the last two years as well as a survey of select examples of the last twenty years of work. Krieger notes, “As an artist, I am most interested in what is on the easel. I love the process. A painting that needs work is all I could ever ask for. Each series of paintings runs its course, the best are set aside, and it’s on to the next. I take a great deal of inspiration from materials: watercolor, oil paint, pastel, graphite, etc. each has its own intrinsic demands.”
Weights and Measures #3
“For this show, I relied on the curatorial skills of my friends Daniel and Elizabeth Nelson to go through the stacks and drawers and pick out some of the best from my collection. It was great to look through older work with their eyes.”
T-Bone
Krieger holds an MFA from UNL and has taught at Doane and Nebraska Wesleyan universities. “I have spent a good amount of time experimenting with how to apply color; brushed, poured, blended, rinsed, blotted, erased, etc.; and how to make line, control edges, how to create shape and space…The work has no predictable outcome. You just have to be there.”
