Overview

The first monograph on the major contemporary artist Born in Los Angeles in 1965, Jeff Kowatch has developed a demanding and subtle technique, inspired as much by Mark Rothko and Brice Marden as by the Flemish painters, from whom he borrows his mastery of glazing. On the canvas, he can overlay up to a hundred layers of paint, endlessly scraped, sanded and covered, which acquire an almost mystical depth and transparency. His works are inhabited by patches of colour that press and agglomerate on the support. Organised into series, his work also includes numerous drawings on paper in oil pastel and, since 2017, oilbar on dibond. His works forge numerous connections with literary and spiritual sources of inspiration.
