Danylo Kovach is a Ukrainian artist born in Zaporizhya in 1992, working across graphics, painting, installation, and performance. He comes from a family of artists – his brother represented Ukraine at the Venice Biennale. Kovach’s practice centers on found objects: ordinary rubber doormats transformed into paintings and installations that challenge conventional readings of everyday materials. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, themes of displacement, precarity, and resilience have intensified in his work. In 2022, he spent a month in our Jan Arnold Gallery as artist-in-residence, creating a room-filling 2 x 6 m painting from doormats collected across Vienna.
Empatia is a collection of nine single-color risographs – “Mental Cage,” “Shelter Our Sky,” “Anthracite,” “Welcome” among them – that map Kovach’s visual language of displacement and solidarity onto paper. Like Beuys’s felt and fat, Kovach’s materials find meaning precisely because they’re everyday objects carrying extraordinary weight. Edition of 20 on Pergraphica paper.
