STIRRING MOODS. ENGAGING ACTION. FLIRTATIOUS LIGHT. THE ART OF LEE KROMSCHROEDER CAPTURES THE IMAGINATION OF THE VIEWER AND PULLS THEM INTO THE ANIMATED WORLD OF HIS CANVAS.
Lee Kromschroeder has been creating worlds on canvas since he was four. Many of these early paintings reflected the interests of other children growing up in southern California, the ocean before him, the mountains nearby and, of course, rocket ships. But these typical subjects were supplemented with something more. Kromschroeder's grandmother broadened his world by teaching him the finer skills of painting and sculpture and introducing him to the masters through her library of books on the arts.
Since those early days, painting has fascinated Lee and has given him a sense of freedom.The support and encouragement of his grandmother and the rest of his family fostered a strong belief in himself and the significance of artThis proved ever useful with the rigors of training at California State University in San Francisco. Graduating with honors, Kromschroeder earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in painting and printmaking. His formal education has served him well as the foundation of his art. But developing his skills and studying his subjects continues to play a major role in his creations.
Approaching his paintings like a researcher, Kromschroeder works with the heart of a purist and the mind of a realistWhenever possible he collects his own reference material by observations, field sketches, notes and taking photographs.Thus far in his career, he has traveled to Asia, Africa, South America, Canada, Mexico and throughout the United States for this personal perspective. But to ensure a true representation, he often refers to wildlife behaviorists, nature specialists and subject studies for suggestions and opinions.
His artworks are composites of this subject knowledge, the incorporation of natural movement and a remarkable use of light and color to create intriguing and inviting images.This process can take weeks, months and even years before he is truly satisfied with the results.
His diligent work, thorough research and ongoing efforts to improve his skills are certainly paying off. Kromschroeder has emerged as one of the most recognized and celebrated new artists of the genre.
