The Chris Kraisler Gallery in Sandpoint, ID showcases the artistic works of David Kraisler, an artist, musician, and graduate architect with a passion for the creative process. With a dedication spanning 60 years, Kraisler's art is deeply rooted in the romantic tradition of Emerson and Whitman, as well as the architectural marvels of Sullivan, Wright, and Goff. Inspired by the vastness and beauty of the American West, his paintings, sculptures, and drawings capture the essence of nature, figurative forms, and organic interludes.
Through his art, Kraisler draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including the sounds of Copeland, Shaker melodies, and the rhythmic architecture of drums. His work reflects the excitement and magic of historical images and sounds, creating a captivating fusion of visual and auditory experiences. With a background in architecture, Kraisler sees his art as a metaphor, exploring the spatial grandeur and expressive possibilities of various mediums, from painted steel sculptures to bronze sculptures and outdoor installations.
