Carl Krull (born 1975) is a contemporary Danish artist. Best known for his seismic approach to sculptural drawing and painting,[1] Krull works in various media, including sculptural drawing (paper and ink/pencil), sculpture, printmaking, virtual reality, and digital media.[2][3][4]

An alumnus of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts (Poland) and San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts (Mexico), he completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1999.[5] Krull has shown work in solo and group gallery exhibitions, including Snapshots From Slumberland – 3 X KRULL (ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus), Resonance (Hans Alf Gallery, Copenhagen), Seismic (V1 Gallery, Copenhagen), Copenhagen Creatives (Maison du Danemark, Paris), and Corpus Unika (Royal Danish Theatre, Copenhagen). He created commissioned sculptures for public installations at Silkeborg Bad sculpture park (Silkeborg)[5] and Elsinore,[6][7] murals, the design selected for the Carlsberg’s 2018 Wiibroe Design,[1] and was the inspiration for the Theatrical Organization of Cyprus theatre production In Two Minds.[8] Until 2019, Krull's studio was at Holckenhus, in the historical corner pavilion loft unit where artists Emil Nolde and Agnes Slott-Moller lived and worked.[9]

Biography[]

Carl Krull was born on the island of Ærø (Denmark) in 1975,[10] to artist parents Maria Struzik-Krull and Hans Oldau Krull.[5][11] Krull studied at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts (Poland) and San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1999.[5][12] He was selected as a 2007 Artist-in-residence at Art Studio Itsukaichi (Japan).[13][14]

Career[]

Carl Krull's artistic style has been described as seismic or seismographic, referring to the sculptural drawing and painting approach that he developed.[15][16] The approach is characterized by a topographical way of perceiving figures and space; rather than using contours to outline his subjects, Krull employs an abundance of lines to create the effect of the subject protruding from the two-dimensional surface of the paper or screen.[1][17][18] Krull developed the method during a road trip through the United States, drawing continuous lines on a paper tube while acting as a human seismograph, allowing bumps in the road to create irregularities in the contoured lines he was drawing.[19][20] Through experimentation, he evolved the method from black and white car scrolls[20] to color, and incorporated diverse methods that include photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, large scale sculptures,[21] and murals.[6][22][23]
