Keren Kroul’s saturated watercolors build organic, abstract forms that undulate with depth and movement. Dark blue, gray, and olive tones anchor an abyss of visual depth and distance. Still, emptiness jumps forward from the negative space of unpainted surfaces. Suspended ropes of color float in the void and move from one panel to the next, creating a rhythmic, breathing composition. The imagery evokes a universal connection—cosmic or microscopic, liquid or gaseous. Kroul expands, “This work is made slowly, meticulously, like a woven tapestry. I am interested in slowness, slowing down the making, to capture an essence of something ephemeral, at the edge of things, just beyond reach.”
