Nestor Kruger
I See Nothing Around This Landscape
January 10–February 8, 1997

In Nestor Kruger’s recent works, the artist reproduces everyday subjects that often exist on the periphery of our consciousness due to their banality and their continuous replication. Home depicts townhouses, row houses and other semi-detached homes that are inherently symmetrical.

“The paintings explore the latent sincerity of the generic, the real sentiment and power which is willingly invested in imagery of this kind… despite their seemingly impersonal reproduction in the culture at large”.

The work 5-Day Forecast borrows again from our collective trough of images garnered from current production technologies, most notably those used in broadcast television.
