RED DOG Painting by Kogan

KOGAN IS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND GRADUATED IN GRAPHIC AND FINE ARTS.

HIS EXPRESSION FORMS PART OF THE TREND TOWARDS TRANSFORMING ABSTRACT-INFLUENCED FIGURATIVE ART, RESULTING IN THE CONTEMPORARY ART.

THE ARTIST REFUTES ANY SPECIFIC INFLUENCE, WORKING BY INSTINCT, DIRECTLY ON CANVAS, RELYING ON HIS SENSIBILITIES IN TERMS OF POETICS AND HUMOUR. ALL OF HIS WORKS REPRESENT AN ENVIRONMENT IN WICH HUMAN AND SPIRITUAL DIMENSION ARE PRESENT, AND AS SUCH DISPLAY THE ENIGMATIC AND EVER-CHANGING SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE. HE EVINCES AN INNOVATIVE COMBINATION OF COLOURS AND METAL, IN ADDITION TO INTERPLAY OF CANVAS AND PIGMENT, HIGHLIGTHING UNEXPECTED FORMS AND TEXTURES.

THE ARTIST ACKNOWLEDGES NO DEBT TO THE CLASSIC ABSTRACT ART, TOUGH HE DOES INVITE THE ONLOOKER TO IMAGINE AND APPRECIATE PRESENT-DAY ART, MUCH AS CONVENTIONAL ART WAS APPRECIATED IN THE PAST.
