KOVEL, from surrealist narration to poetic evocation. Christoph KOVEL's artistic career is that of a research on the language of art.
Figurative painter influenced by the surrealists, he succeeded in successive stages (collage, wood carving, stone, modeling, ceramics) to the creations of today.
His technique consists of using recycled materials (shipwrecked from the industry to which he gives a second life) to make paintings in bas-relief, mixture of arte povera and ready made, which combines formal research and novelistic evocations. gradually to a work of epure, KOVEL realizes compositions of a small delicacy, evocations and not more descriptions, in which he plays on the differences of materials, the textures, the oxidations, the corrosions, the patinas ... Writing work formal and literal. Plastic poems.
Or how the writing of a work with delicacy can use raw and ordinary materials, as the evocations of PREVERT use usual words. Unanimously recognized in the artistic circles, KOVEL can pursue his quest for a poetic absolute.
