Meditation is Not What You Think – Solo Exhibition
Oct, 2015
Steven Zevitas Gallery, Boston, MA
On View: October 22 – December 31, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, November 6, 2015, 5:30 – 8 PM
Meditation is Not What You Think marks an unabashed departure for Krueger both in terms of the form and content of his work. The exhibition features eleven new paintings that deal with the material and immaterial, images and non-images, each seeking moments of mediation. Krueger finds covert inspiration, form, humor and sensation in the struggle to unburden the mind, and clarity in the images that well up as one tries to meditate everything away. He embraces images that flicker off and on, repeat and refresh unfiltered.

“The charge for artists like me is to embed an idea in material. And in doing so create something that exists beyond language, in a non-linear, paradoxical realm where several things can be true at the same time. To create a work of art that can be seen with the eyes and the mind and transcends the material origins. In this way art is alchemical, it is not direct or tangible but rather mystical, prophetic and psychic.” – Michael Krueger
