About the Item

During these difficult times I have been finding respite and refuge in nature, once again painting outdoors, after many years of working predominantly in the studio. It has been healing to be in the shade of a forested landscape, noticing how the light pierces through the trees, how the branches intertwine, where they connect, how they relate. This new body of work started a couple of years pre-pandemic when I was confronting a different, more personal type of pause, one that had me examining my life at its mid-point, reassessing my priorities, examining what is most important, embracing and trusting in inevitable change. Using the forest and biodiversity as a metaphor, I was working out what it means to be a woman of mid-life and mid-career. During this early stage of the new work, I found inspiration in many artists and writings, specifically in the paintings of Hilma af Klint and her portrayal and celebration of all of the stages of life.

In these, we see the landscape transformed into a dream-like setting. These surrealist imaginings of the natural world place Krieger’s paintings within a cohort of contemporary women painters reimagining the tradition of the landscape genre, such as Shara Hughes...
