Artist Statement
This work is part of one of 4 on-going series of large works on paper.
The name of this series, "Yappanoise", is inspired by one of the numerous "monster-words" and neologisms invented by James Joyce in his last and famous novel "Finnegans Wake". It directly alludes to the essence of the artwork:
- "Yappan" - the material used here being Japanese ink
- "Yap" - sudden bursts of color marks spread over the white paper
- "Noise" - referring to the sonority of colours
The horizontal and vertical lines, in black and grey hues, intentionally provide rhythm to this work, and enhance it's musicality, whilst the ridges of paper convert it into a 3d object.

Artist Profile
Born: 1962
Hometown: Pforzheim
Based in: Pforzheim
Harald Kröner is a German artist who could be described as "paper artist", producing essentially works on paper and collages. His work involves also public installations.
Harald Kröner works thoroughly with paper, of which he is a notorious collector, whether it be artist paper, printed sheets, or papers collected in his daily life, transforming them into drawings and collages.
His works are made predominantly with coloured ink, but stain, lacquer, spray or enamel can sometimes be used in the creation process.
Lines, very present on his artworks, can be the result of a pencil stroke, a cut, the edge of a torn paper, dripping ink or the borders of collaged paper underneath his paintings.
Chance plays an important role in his work, which explores the limit between hazard and control, order and chaos.
