MARKOL (*1986 in Zurich) develops a painterly practice situated between intuitive gesture, chromatic sensitivity, and psychological resonance. His works are not purely gestural outbursts, but rather controlled fields of emotional condensation in which color functions as a carrier of mood and inner movement.

​

Characteristic of his work is a fragmented, almost modular brush structure: short, precisely placed emotional strokes of color that accumulate into vibrating surfaces. This visual language generates its own rhythm, in which perception is not depicted but broken down into its elemental components and reconfigured.

​

The different groups of works can be understood as varying states of painterly intensity. Color does not operate as a fixed system, but as a dynamic, shifting field that condenses, overlaps, or dissolves. In this way, pictorial spaces emerge that oscillate between presence and openness, resisting any singular or fixed reading.

​

MARKOL’s painting engages in an expanded dialogue with positions in abstract painting without committing to a specific art-historical framework. It is at once sensuous and reflective, immediately accessible yet charged with a subtle internal tension. His works emerge precisely within this in-between space, as open experiential fields in which perception continually re-forms itself in the act of seeing and feeling.
