Overview
Mute, 2024
Preslav Kostov is a London-based painter whose work engages with the instability of the figure in contemporary image culture.
Working through accumulation, erasure, and distortion, his paintings hover between observation and invention, where bodies are partially seen, misremembered, or withheld. Kostov received his BA at Leeds Arts University (Leeds, UK) in 2020, and received his MA at Royal College of Art (London, UK) in 2023. Selected exhibitions include: “Between the !ve wells,” Tara Downs, New York, US (2024); “Notes Toward a Shell,” Tara Downs, New York, US (2024); “So"er, So"est,” Guts Gallery, London, UK (2024); “Beauty in chaos,” Hew Hood Gallery, London, UK (2024); “The Arcadian Dream, Spurs Gallery, Beijing, CN (2024); “New Now,” Guts Gallery, London, UK (2023); “Manifest,” SixtySix London, London, UK (2023); “Touch-a-touch-a-touch-me, Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery, London, UK (2023); “From The Cloud,” Baert Gallery, Los Angeles, US (2023); “Skin Deep,” Studio West Gallery, London, UK (2023); “A consciousness harnessed to #esh,” D Contemporary, London, UK (2023); “Now introducing 2022,” Studio West Gallery, London, UK (2022).
