Uwe Kowski (1963) combines linear structure and planeness in his canvases and watercolours. In doing so the skilled sign writer, who studied painting and graphics in Leipzig, extends the lines driven by colour plains by text and writings. After a first impression of abundance and complexity, the seemingly accidental opulence appears as an intended composition scheme. Step by step the framework which links the detailed elements is becoming clear. Like a coordinate system it gives hold to the emblematic structures. Thus the searching eye is following a range of associations until it orientates itself in this system of lines, signs and consciously chosen colour fadings. Uwe Kowski is represented by exhibitor @galerie eigenart of Leipzig and Berlin at ART COLOGNE. The international art fair for modern and contemporary art will join forces with @colognefineart & Design, opening together at the @koelnmesse between 19 and 22 November 2020.
