David Kroll: Distant Clouds

"For landscape painters, the stability of the land is eternal. Mountains hold still for the painter of outdoors and, while passing breezes may disturb deciduous foliage, it is only in the spring and autumnal transitions when leaves sprout or fall at noticeable pace. The weather, however, refuses to hold still, with its changes of light and air happening moment by moment. For Kroll, there is plenty of atmosphere beyond his tableaus, but no clear sense of the daylight hour.

Paradoxically, it seems, Kroll's latest suite of paintings and works on paper, “Distant Clouds,” is for the most part, emptied of landscape elements, and the light suffusing these works is of no particular time of day. What remains of nature, beyond this hummingbird or that bunch of grapes, is the sky, dappled with clouds."
