Pavlo Kovach

Pavlo Kovach (1959) is a Ukrainian artist, curator, painter, graphic artist, and performer, a member of the "Pop-Trans" group. He is a co-founder of the "Koridor" gallery and the Pavlo Bedzir Museum-Workshop, whom he considers his mentor. He began exhibiting in 1984, and five years later, he presented his works at an international biennale. He is known for his experiments in painting, installation, and video performances.

"Wall" embodies the idea of an obstacle, division, or protection. The composition conveys a sense of solidity and immovability, yet at the same time, the potential for breakthrough or change. The surface of the work contains imprints of time, historical layers, or personal experience, making it rich in interpretation.

The contemporary period of Kovach’s work is marked by the exploration of physical and mental barriers, as well as the possibilities of overcoming them. His works investigate the boundaries of form and space, combining symbolism, texture, and depth.

This work attracts attention with its conceptual richness, strict form, and ability to evoke associations with limits and the potential to transcend them.
