In the exhibition Digging Holes, presented at Galerie Le Feuvre & Roze in Paris from March 17 to April 9, 2022, German painter Jan Kolata invites us into a vibrant exploration of color, chance, and gesture. Departing from traditional tools like brushes and easels, Kolata employs an innovative process: he pours generous amounts of acrylic paint onto raw canvases laid over rails on his studio floor, manipulating the flow with various fluids. This method results in dynamic layers of color that are both spontaneous and meticulously balanced.
Digging Holes exemplifies Kolata's commitment to exploring the interplay between control and chance, offering viewers a profound visual experience that resonates with the complexities of abstraction.
