Dylan Solomon Kraus’ (b. 1987 in Ohio, US) multidisciplinary practice has more recently focused on painting as a media that allows him to render the cinematographic possibility of his subject matter. Kraus deploys a series of symbols and geometric forms, often set within landscapes where the viewer is engaged with a re-interpretation of pastoral night scenes that feature celestial objects, including a reoccurring series of planets traversing the frame of the canvas.
