Luis Kerch

Drexel Galería invites you to the opening of its next exhibition Y la arena tenía el tono más claro, an exhibition of Luis Kerch's artwork.

Luis Kerch encountered his passion and motivation for creating in colour. His greatest influence comes from European artists and the colour present in indigenous cultures. A life full of experiences with landscape and contrasts that enrich his work. An observer committed to art and nature. His work represents the experience of perceiving the world and the light that surrounds us through the use of colour.

He is known for his big paintings in which the creative gesture flows almost naturally across the large-size canvases. Kerch seeks to convey emotion by way of painting and does so fearlessly and freely, making use of light and colour.

He explores and contemplates the world around him and conveys to us, through his artistic eyes, an emotion that we can actually feel.

According to the Galician art critic, David Barro: “in Luis Kerch’s works, the landscape is blurred and the image is destroyed in order to activate the imagination.

The pictorial is taken to the limit. Therefore, there is always something that escapes us and vertigo takes over the experience. A reality that we can neither see nor describe but whose existence can be inferred.” Kerch works between Spain and Mexico. His paintings are featured in private collections all over the world, enjoying international renown after exhibitions throughout Europe and America. Since the work carried in 2011 in Kent, United Kingdom, his artwork has had an impact on the national and international art scene.
