Artist Statement
Dieter Kraus (he/him) continues his abstract drawing journey with his latest exhibition titled “The Darkest Light”. Here Dieter explores the centre of our solar system with homage to the sun. It is partly a dark look at the giver of light and life that will ultimately also be Earth’s demise. As well as this dark fact his work is a reflection and meditation on the inner anxiety of daily life whilst the sun cuts a path across the sky.
