Born in Triest in 1951 where he lives and works.
Backs, legs, breasts, torsos, women’s faces and bodies painted on large canvases and small cardboard fragments. Wonderful obsession. Each word a face, each accent a colour, each sign a line. Everything finds its place in a harmonious balance within the same space.
Paolo devises his images as sentences of a long story about love and its consequences. There is room for cheerfulness, happiness, complicity, but especially for abandonment, anger, solitude. The human figures are solitary and extremely coloured. They appear leant out towards an eternal search for love, a love that man, always represented as a shadow, will never fulfil. The shadow-man, who hides behind a waterfall of colours, tries to get out of the fogs that enshroud him, or of the geometric constructions that he is surrounded by or jammed in. He is perhaps prisoner of his own thoughts, which are so rational that they prevent him from attaining a longed for love. Man becomes shadow, a shadow that gets out of the picture and takes the place of body.
Kervischer presents us once again with the motif of series, as it happened with Corpi vaganti vacanti, and Poeti e Volti. It is a motif that recurs constantly troughout his works, testifying to his thirs for research and knowledge. Even in the creation of his abstract paintings, the necessity of narrating woman remains fundamental: new stories are constantly added over the same canvas by overlapping painted rags, filled with words and drawings, which – like in a collage – result in a perfect dialogue between the artist and the world that surrounds him. The artist matches figurativeness and abstractness, words and images, in a conceptual synthesis that is at the heart of his poetics.
Kervischer’s artworks will remain on display till June 2018.
