What you should know about Benni Krueger
But in 2011 my life changed unexpectedly when I was diagnosed with a hearing disability, in the following 3 years I suffered from repeated sudden hearing losses during which I lost my hearing almost entirely, luckily I was able to retrieve some of my hearing but I am now depending on hearing aids to have conversations. And so I began searching for alternative ways to express myself creatively, though it was not until I joined art class that I discovered my keen interest in exploring abstract art. Being devastated by the loss of hearing, I was fortunate to find a teacher who could facilitate my much needed creative transformation from sound to vision and consequently unlocking the creative powers I held within as well as restoring my purpose in life. My painting style could be described as randomly spluttering, smudging and squashing colourful paint. My inspiration articulates conscious accidents resulting in abstract and irrational artwork that doesn’t attempt to portrait anything from the physical world that surrounds us. Scanning my paintings at high resolution lets tiny accidental details emerge like looking through a microscope and allowing the viewer to see unexpected textures, while astonishing patterns and three dimensional shapes emerge from the dark, creating kaleidoscopic formations of contrasting colours.
Moreover, braking the pattern of my own habits appears to be a fundamental ingredient of all my artwork. For this reason I don’t mind improvising or trying things I have never done before. Gratification happens when accidents and chaos present themselves with vibrant colours of fluorescent, radiant, illuminated and ultra violet striations. My artwork evaporates energetic colour that presents itself in electric shades, hues and fades, as well as embedding the underlying snapshot of my inner journey
