Gabriel Krekk

Gabriel Krekk is one of the fastest emerging Watercolor Artists in the World today. Invitations for his work and connections to his work and website are growing dramatically.He is now affiliated with the Saatchi Gallery in London as an invited Member Artist and most recently has accepted an invitation to represent Canada in the elite International Association Artist Universal. Gabriel Krekk was born in Nyirbator, Hungary in 1955 and he and his family immigrated to Canada as a result of the Hungarian-Russian revolution in 1956. His love for art and architecture began at a very early age. His choice of medium has transformed throughout the years, from dabbling with oils, playing with pen and ink, finding ease  with  tempera and evolving to the beauty of watercolors in the mid 1980’s. Gabriel Krekk is recognized as a realism Artist. His work in watercolor has transformed from simplistic soft washes in the 1980’s to the level of dramatic attention to detail that has emerged in the past few years. The challenge  that he presents to himself on every new painting  is to create a piece that from ten feet away, the viewer would not be able to differentiate it  from a photograph. How appropriate to name his touring two dimensional show after the very goal he is aspiring to achieve with his work. As both a Photographer and Artist, the interest in privately commissioned paintings by Krekk is growing rapidly as he is offering more of his time for commissioned pieces. He is constantly in search of new models, subject materials and the next inspiring opportunity. As you experience his original paintings....please view “ From Ten Feet Away “.
