Press Release
Keith Kovach creates digital prints that peel away and tear apart social convention and delineated artistic genres alike. He creates images of nature and the human body which mirror the decomposition of form. His women metamorphose into thick-scaled reptiles; his faces crack into assemblages of skin and shards. The viewer is implicated and asked to contend with notions of struggle and transition because the evocative works depict luminal moments of irreversible transformative processes. Because these changes are violently imposed upon the human body and familiar elements of nature, the viewer must put aside complex feelings of discomfort and reflect on the underlying challenges of Kovach's representation. Revealing a remarkable mastery of digital manipulation, these works not only offer visual examples of Jacques Derrida's meditations on Deconstruction but function as cultural criticism in and of themselves.
In 1986 Keith Kovach received his M.F.A. from the University of South Florida. Working as a free-lance artist for over ten years, he has specialized in multimedia development, animation, and commercial photography. A senior Fulbright Scholar in Media Studies, Keith Kovach has taught at the University of Central Florida, the National University of Fine Arts in Bucharest, Romania, and at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
