These paintings continue an ongoing investigation into the ways images shape memory and perception. They present moments that feel simultaneously familiar and unknowable. Conceived as sequences rather than isolated images, the works unfold through repetition, variation and subtle shifts in perspective.
Built through multiple layered processes, their surfaces move between clarity and disappearance, revealing and concealing information in much the same way memory itself operates. Individual paintings remain self-contained, yet together they suggest a larger psychological landscape in which they gain meaning through their relationship to one another.
K. T. Kobel
Born in 1988 in the UK, Kobel is a British artist based in Amsterdam. Working primarily in painting, his practice also encompasses photography, writing and moving image. Drawing from cinema, found photography and vernacular imagery, he reworks disparate source material into paintings that resist singular interpretation, his figures appearing as fragmented, anonymous presences suspended between intimacy and distance.
