Artist Nikolaus Kriese

Space Architecture & Landscape. The invention of another reality.

“Montages of naturalistic modern and traditional views characterize the paintings of artist Nikolaus Kriese. His motifs

the artist develops with preference from daily encounters with architecture, rooms, landscapes and objects. In the mixture of color structures and spatial structures each picture is

colorful-decorative and at the same time realistically interpretative.

The art through multicolored or monochrome treatments of the individual surfaces and alternating painterly representational and

expressive elements to formulate a pictorial order. With the clear structure of the rooms, objects and landscapes and the playful relationship of the individual levels among themselves, everything optical becomes conceivable.

The artist Nikolaus Kriese paints on canvas. For this he uses oil and acrylic paints. In many of his paintings, the immediate use of color becomes the final. Each of his paintings follows its own logic, there are elements which reappear, a certain seriality depending on the Creative period and experienced. Almost always the spaces of his paintings are deserted, not even animals are depicted.

Some of the paintings seem cold and distant in their own way, even if, for example, plants are on it. The thematic field of painting remains open, can include from marbles in the meadow to clouds, Lego bricks, forests and House entrances contain all sorts of things. Representational becomes actor in naturalistic composition, with the presence in large format.”

The world as a construction kit

Collage-like image staging of spaces and objects. New contexts through the mix of real existing reality. For example, when photorealistic architecture appears in colorful landscapes or accurately painted objects are depicted as constructed elements.

With quite a few pictures by the artist Nikolaus Kriese it is like with nature: it does not ask any questions, but gives many answers. Flying objects, children’s toys, stairways, insights, passages, doors to another dimension. New worlds in front of a familiar landscape.

Strong color contrasts, clear construction, architecture and landscape, naturalistic depiction of reality, a closed shutter, an office, clear architectural lines. Spaces that do without people. Large format, slightly gloomy andmystical, little white space and room for interpretation and the penchant for detail.

Artist Nikolaus Kriese

Pure colors

Free forms, explosion and material battle. Intense pasty forms on hand-built frames. The images live through the materiality. Highest luminosity through intense and pure colors. Stirred pigments as putty and raised with oil paints to the highest luminosity.

The motifs were created in the ongoing work process. These works show a special interest in colorful Interactions of the surfaces to each other, very expressive gestures and partly cool objectivity & emotion.

The examination of colored surfaces and forms offer an interesting insight into a playful world. The images also reflect the forest and an expressive mysticism as an alternative to reality.

Crystal clear constructed reality

What places exist within us? How do we create new spaces in the now? When do these spaces become real? These works from 2009 to 2019 show a lot of glass and translucent materials. Gems, glass blocks, glasses, windows, bottles and glass marbles. Almost disappearing, a tiny windmill can still be made out on the horizon.

Individual red areas dominate the predominantly bluish pictorial structure. Sometimes the view opens up to free landscapes and often an artificial space is created. Almost all pictures follow a concrete geometric construction.

In them the sky plays a major role. Weightlessness of objects in space, physics is seemingly suspended. The pictorial language with the almost sterile coolness of their geometric forms reflects New Objectivity. Playing creator, creating spatiality and generating experience of new worlds. Retreats, fantasy places with metaphorical and metaphysical allusions. Seeing the world as a construction kit and play.

Artist Nikolaus Kriese

Silent places

Places without people. Traditional architecture in expressive scenery. Thuringian forest and meadows – a feeling of home and sun. Where is that? This home? When we go out and experience nature? When are we there? Stories of people and their architecture. Perspectives and image of real reality. These works are also documents of time and atmospheric insights into a harmonious reality in colorful openness. Village house facades, idyllic world, light-flooded courtyards, old abandoned houses and windows.

Color, tracing and construction

Even what appears clearly arranged and structured often does not fit together harmoniously. Lively largely abstract colorfulness with clear separation of forms. In these

color tableaus are dominated by cool blue with dissonant, always surprising color accents. We are confronted with seemingly expressive sections of the world or arranged color fields that defy more precise attribution or classification.

The latter also applies to the numerous allusions and borrowings from more recent epochs of art history. The painting techniques and use of materials are correspondingly variable. In particular, these paintings in oil and acrylic paint show colorful, thickly applied materiality.experimental color combinations and color methodologies.

Serial overworked works and overpainted pictures, expressive drawings of everyday experiences. Search for traces and color games. Pure bright colors, contrasts and partly open forms. Cosmic color games. Graphic lines and structures. A recasting and search for traces in the now. Conceptless image structure and color choice as an artist.

In most paintings the painting base consists of a canvas stretched on a wooden frame. In some cases, the painting supports are also made of wooden panels or special painting cardboard.

The photography of the artwork is done in my studio under the best lighting conditions to ensure the most realistic reproduction of each image. From the representing monitor and its settings it can come to deviating results of the color representation. However, it is usually the case that the works in reality are usually more impressive than in the digital image.
