Krasso Mihaylov is a humble artist with a smile in the corners of his eyes, but with few words to offer in explanation of his work. He was born in Bulgaria, but has been a Brooklyn painter for the last 25 years. Has achieved notoriety in the art world with museum exhibitions and work held in international collections. 

Upon first glance, a feeling of a spontaneous composition is evident and the obvious thing to notice is the large format scale of most of the paintings. Further contemplation changes first impressions of these pieces and they open up to tell a story. Typically one thinks of surrealism as the juxtaposition of improbable things offered in a dream-like way. Krasso’s surrealism oftentimes highlights the mundane by keeping the subject just outside of the frame, through playing with scale within the composition or by placing an ordinary, unthought of object or action as the main character. His works can be simple thoughts with open ended statements left to the viewer to decide or full of allegory and a deeper meaning left to the viewer to decipher. 

This exhibition is a presentation of Krasso’s large format work. The combination of the scale of the work and the intimate size of the gallery makes this exhibition quite the experience. It’s as if you have stepped right into the mind of this clever artist. 

Krasso’s solo opens with a reception on 2/15 from 6 - 8 pm and remains on view through 3/31. 

Please note - most of the pieces in this exhibition are displayed unstretched to offer an easier way to transport.
