ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kroner began studying art in his early twenties. He obtained his MFA at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco and has since gone on to receive numerous awards for his painting. He has exhibited in numerous solo shows and group shows across the country. 

Kroner has an incredible awareness of light and atmosphere and his works glow with an ethereal vitality as if they are alive and moving. His scenes have a striking sense of realism in some areas while in others diverge into an orchestral arrangement of tone and color, dissolving away from form altogether yet maintaining a wonderful harmony as a whole. There is a vigorous presence, and a fragility, as if he took a risk within his process of painting. He says that “While painting I want to make a discovery, the process itself is an unknown and the viewer can also see this excitement within the work.”
