Description
Sixteen monumental paintings, including previously unseen works, introduce Krewer’s nocturnal world of floating bodies, animals, intimacy and urban tension. Installed within the permanent collection, the paintings place his contemporary figuration into a broader modern-art genealogy.
Florian Krewer (b. 1986) is a German painter based in New York whose psychologically charged scenes combine bodies, animals and fragments of contemporary urban life.
