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. Sebastian Kruger has had
three popular art books published of his works and
has a yearly art calendar from Morpheus. Kruger's
art can be seen frequently in Playboy magazine and
has also been featured in the likes of Stern, LšEspresso,
Penthouse, and Der Spiegel and USA Today. He has recently
been working on select motion picture projects.
