Parker Jordan is proud to present Sebastian Kruger.

“Kruger has a genius for capturing the essence of his subjects
through caricature.”—The London Times

Sebastian Kruger was born in Hamlin, Germany in 1963. He studied
painting and graphic arts and quickly moved on to make his living as a
caricaturist, illustrator, and painter.

Kruger’s works are appreciated and collected by many Hollywood notables, and
his painterly twists on Bogart, Schwarzenegger John Wayne, The Rolling Stones,
are classics of their kind. Perhaps never before has an artist displayed such an acute
ability to capture the essence of those who occupy the public eye.

Perhaps Kruger's most remarkable talent is his ability to bring diverse painting techniques and styles to a given subject. Kruger's works range from pencil drawings, to near abstract paintings and then to the near photo realistic, and he has mastered
each difficult variant with remarkable skill. Though the foundation of most caricature may rest in the exaggeration of the certain of the subjects features, Kruger often
ignores the obvious, and focuses on more subtle aspects, still conveying
the essence of his subject in a most profound and amusing fashion.

Despite such exaggerations and maniacal morphs, Kruger approaches nearly
all of his subjects with a level of respect and sincerity. His goal is to
reach inside of them and pull out the very essentials of their character. This requires
a certain empathy on the part of the artist, as well as the requisite artistic skills.
