Nocturnal oil paintings that convey powerful beauty—and signal the distress nature is broadcasting.
Derrick Breidenthal’s landscapes display velvety night exposures along with penetrating fires straining the land—demonstrating the grace and fragility of our surroundings. Breidenthal’s persistent insomnia has given him an intimate grasp of the nocturnal habitat. The result is a collection of haunting depictions of solitude, beauty and distress. These new works will debut in a solo exhibition at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art January 16th, 2021.
Connected by techniques of gentle blending and diffusion, Breidenthal is able to illuminate rare night-time colors and conditions. Stunningly rich oil color and beautiful compositions manifest a range of lucid night-time sensations for the viewer.
