在城市版图不断蔓延的北京展出克鲁尔的作品，亦映射了艺术家的创作主题。除了他的绘画实践，展览中还穿插了来自艺术家档案的照片。这些此前从未展出过的摄影捕捉下不拘一格的城市脉搏，展现了活跃于城市夜晚的人物寻求释放的内心状态。

油彩和石墨描绘了
原始而私密的瞬间
此外，展览还囊括了一系列创作于2019至2020年的纸上作品，艺术家用油彩和石墨描绘了原始而私密的瞬间。作品被有意挂在墙面较低的位置，从而使观者与画作中的人物产生亲密的联结——他们扭曲、交融，介乎人、动物和阴影之间。《无题》，2019，纸本油彩、石墨

取自作品《好狗》此次展览的标题取自克鲁尔2019年的作品《好狗》，凸显其创作中人与动物之间亲密友好的关系。占据画面中心的主人公罩在一袭黑衣之下，仅能略微窥见他的面部轮廓，浑身散发出孤绝而冥思的气息，而环绕在他脚边的白狗似在提供着忠诚和保护，消解了画面阴郁的氛围。醒目的粉色线条勾勒出湮没于黑暗中的人物轮廓，为画面增添景深的同时，亦如一道无形的安全绳索或荧荧闪烁的光晕罩护着画中人物。《好狗》，2019，布面油画
图片致谢艺术家和沃纳画廊暗夜的混沌中
展露内省的沉静时刻正如作品《奋起》在纷乱的城市街头描绘了一个令人慰藉的场景，《好狗》在暗夜的混沌中展露出内省的沉静时刻。通过艺术家独具一格的艺术风格——强烈的色调对比和对街头桀骜青年的刻画，克鲁尔的作品，进而推及整个展览，缩影般地展现了暗夜中人与人之间私密的关系抑或幽光下不同存在之间的私语，它们模糊了个体欲望和社会期许之间的界限，揭示出孤独和陪伴之间时而趋近交融的微妙关系。《奋起》，2019，布面油画

Curated by Matthew Higgs, director and chief curator, White Columns, and Victor Wang, artistic & executive director, M WOODS Museum
December 02, 2023 – March 02, 2024
M WOODS Museum proudly presents “Nice Dog,” the most comprehensive survey of the paintings of Florian Krewer (b. 1986, Gerolstein, Germany) to date, and the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Asia. The exhibition is a collaboration with the Aspen Art Museum, which showed the artist's first institutional solo exhibition in the United States earlier this year.With the New York night as his muse, Krewer paints all the vastness, liberation, and uncertainty it has to offer. Derived from lived experiences and fantasy, the artist creates a seductive world of magical encounters set against the staged backdrops of imagined landscapes and interiors. Primal needs, longing, and precarious interactions are depicted with the greater intention of revealing our collective vulnerabilities.Exploring the last six years of Krewer’s career, the exhibition features new paintings alongside a selection of paintings from collections around the world. It charts Krewer’s journey since his 2017 graduation from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied under the artist Peter Doig. Krewer’s more recent paintings reflect the relentless and often anxious energy of New York, his newfound home.
In the museum’s galleries artworks are thematically and biographically gathered, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a memory within a dream. In a significant context, Krewer's move from his homeland of Germany to New York City intersected with a turbulent period globally, marked by the unprecedented challenges of a pandemic. Notably, the incorporation of chained fences in his exhibition serves not just as a metaphorical barrier representing his own journey and the world's recent upheavals, but also as a transparent veil of the city, both guiding the viewer through the space while encapsulating the mood of Krewer's works from 2019-2022—a series deeply imbued with raw emotion, capturing the tension of a world in flux.Exhibited in the urban sprawl of Beijing’s 798 district, the exhibition is punctuated by never-before-seen photographs by Krewer. These images, taken by Krewer, captures the off-beat pulse of city life, portraying figures in varying states of stress and release, ready for the night. Also on display will be a series of works on paper from 2019-2020 that capture raw and intimate moments in oil and graphite. Artworks are deliberately hung lower, fostering a more intimate connection with Krewer's characters that twist, merge, and engage with animals and shadows. "Nice dog", the 2019 painting by Krewer, lends its title to the exhibition at M WOODS museum, adding a dimension of intriguing intimacy between humans and animals to the show. The dominant haunting figure in the painting, shrouded in black with only hints of facial features visible, emanates an air of solitude and contemplation, while the poised white dog at its feet offers a semblance of loyalty and perhaps protection. The vibrant cerise line that contours the dark figure adds depth, suggesting an unseen tether or a glimmering aura of protection. Much like "everybody rise" depicts moments of solace amidst a bustling cityscape, "Nice dog" captures a silent moment of introspection amidst dark chaos. Through Krewer's signature style of contrasting heavy tones and unruly figures, the painting, and by extension, the exhibition, encapsulates the intricacies of human connections that awaken at night and the dim-lit conversations between beings that blur the line between personal desires and societal expectations, revealing how solitude can sometimes converge with companionship.The exhibition is guest curated by Matthew Higgs, director and chief curator, White Columns with Victor Wang, artistic & executive director, M WOODS Museum.
