The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions, Nocturnes by Derrick Breidenthal and Ben Weddle: Panoramics. The exhibitions are on view from January 16 to April 11, 2021.
Bottom Place, 30×30 by Breidenthal
Nocturnes by Derrick Breidenthal
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 destruction. Connected by techniques of gentle blending and diffusion, Breidenthal illuminates rare night-time colors and conditions. Stunningly rich oil color and beautiful compositions manifest a range of lucid night-time sensations for the viewer. The exhibition is comprised of more than 25 paintings including three large works.
