“Max Kremer: Perfect Day” Opening Reception at Reeves Art + Design

When

April 07, 2023 | 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

What

In his show, “Perfect Day,” Max Kremer explores the intricacies of individuality and community through the lens of landscape painting. He suggests that one might just as easily think about the paintings as portraits because they are a commentary on the agency of the land.

Kremer describes each scene’s individuality by using subtle or intense variations in the brush strokes. The perspective of the paintings play an equally important role as it defines the scope of the subjects. While each scene is viewed from a set scale, the paintings are just as much about what is deeper within and beyond the frame. The exposed primed canvas and limited color palette emphasizes this aspect by tying the paintings together. Viewers can interpret the scenes independently and as parts of a larger collective, making the boundaries between the subjects less definitive. The implied space, ambiguous colors, and undefined perspectives make the paintings purposefully difficult to contextualize so that the viewer can more easily bring their own perspective into the environment.

The show will be on view from April 7th – April 29th and the opening reception will be held on April 7th, 2023 from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM in conjunction with the partnering exhibition—”Chris Bexar: Some Images May Be Disturbing.”
