The paintings of Roman Kochanski, born in Essen in 1983, encounter the environment in a deconstructive mode. Starting from a fragmentation of reality in its components, he depicts these isolated and enlarged. In his abstract works, color, gesture and material are paramount. The often used acrylic varnish bestows the works with a satin patina, which accentuates the objectivity of the picture as an object.
Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, elements from the natural world can often be found in Kochanski’s work; birds and plants are depicted and stylized in all their variety and vivid colorfulness. Thus, they testify to a controlled nature, tamed and yet independent and sovereign in their appearance. A tension that also speaks of his working method: Kochanski exercises a painting that is both controlled and immediate.
