Sven Kroner’s paintings are inspired by his own childhood in
the mountains and forests of southern Germany. His large-scale
landscapes, depicting lush woods or vast expanses, have been
compared to the works of Romantic painters Caspar David Friedrich,
John Constable, and J.M.W. Turner, but they differ in their focus
on human existence and its effects. When people make appearances in
the landscape, they are often shown from a distance in groups in a
manner reminiscent of Flemish landscape paintings, but more often
their presence is merely implied, through a porch light, an
abandoned railway track, or a piece of trash floating in a
lake.
