Paul Corvers: Mixed Grays


Paul Corvers is a painter based in the Netherlands. I was recently introduced to his work and was struck by his varied and expressive use of gray. The work occupies a considered space between representation and abstraction that continually prompts memory and associations in the viewer. The use of gray is instrumental in the process, bringing a vague uncertianty to bear that allows for a mysterious, open interpretation.

I'm always fascinated by the transformations of simplicity into something so heavily articulated. To be able to speak a language in such monotone gesture is truly remarkable.

A great new artist to admire.
