7: DAVID KROLL (Born 1956) OIL ON CANVAS

David Kroll (Born 1956)
Three Pumpkins (1993)
The oil on canvas signed, titled and dated verso is an example of the artist creating, as he puts it, 'an invented, imaginary moment...' of three surreal pumpkins at dusk.

In his artist statement, surrealist David Kroll goes on to say, 'I paint refuges, places to go to for solace. I want my paintings to be destinations of quiet and calm. However, this world is fragile. The elements in the foregrounds of my paintings are items carefully constructed, either by humans or animals. Yet, they are objects easily broken or destroyed. Birds represent messengers from the wild. They embody beauty and fragility. They are visitors that remind us of lands beyond, wilderness. The distant landscapes in my paintings are remembrances of the natural past, vaguely familiar and pleasing.' (Source: AskArt.com).
