News, Pinsel und Eine Lilie
Eigen + ArtWe are pleased to present News, Pinsel und Eine Lilie by Uwe Kowski. In his canvases and aquarelles, Kowski combines object and dissolution, linear structure and flatness. His works are created in a painterly process that impressively combines intuition and control, emotion and composition, constantly opening up new pictorial spaces. "Something should happen that does not work verbally. I often put myself in uncharted territory, because although I have a rough idea of what I want to do, I don't actually know where it will take me. It doesn't always work; I want this pure form of painting, but I need a part of the story, the beginning, or the subject. (...) That's also why I often say that my painting isn't abstract; it comes from somewhere. For me, abstract is red, green, and yellow. I don't find the term abstract painting very productive; it doesn't describe anything in particular. The message is: painting! The way there is always different." —Uwe Kowski
