Galerie La Forest Divonne
Jeff Kowatch , France
"Mind and freedom"
The Galerie La Forest Divonne is pleased to present a new exhibition by the painter Jeff Kowatch, from May 16th to July 13th, 2024 in Paris. The gallery has been working with this American painter since 2008. The title of this new exhibition “Mind and Freedom” refers to Jeff Kowatch’s practice of painting, influenced by his Zen practice, where he seeks to free himself from the subject to allow the representation of his inner world to emerge on the canvas, relying on repetitive and slow gestures and an impressionist juxtaposition of colors.
For this new exhibition in Paris, Galerie La Forest Divonne is partnering with Galerie Moretti Fine Art – present in London, Monaco, and Paris – which will exceptionally loan a painting by Pier Francesco Cittadini entitled “Vase of flowers with Pale of Olives, Salami and cheese, Preserves, a Chalice and a white fringed cloth, circa 1660” that will be presented among Jeff Kowatch’s works. This comparison, of a work by the artist with this large floral bouquet from the 17th century, highlights how Jeff Kowatch’s work fits into the long tradition of painting. Conversely, a painting by Jeff Kowatch will be hung in Galerie Moretti Fine Art – Paris, located close to the Louvre. Visitors can cross the Seine and admire the dialogue between the artist’s work and the masterpieces of the past.
