Alec Kronacker

Bloomberg New Contemporaries Opens on Wednesday, 23rd November.

Last year the work that had me swooning and coming over all faint was Alec Kronacker’s work. Love this one pictured and Not Ironing and I think my favourite is Man Pacing Apartment, all 2011. It feels like a nostalgia that’s not personal, like a wished for nostalgia. It makes me feel a little yearning for the new fresh feeling of the 1950s, sitcoms and telephones, clunky analogue and Ektachrome colour. Really want one of these paintings.
