K. T. Kobel (b. 1988, UK) is a British artist based in Amsterdam whose work explores the unstable territory between image and memory. His paintings present fragments rather than complete narratives, focusing on traces, absences, and unresolved actions. Influenced by cinematic language, Kobel constructs scenes that resist clarity, holding tension within what remains unseen or withheld.
Through restrained compositions and ambiguous imagery, his work examines how memory distorts and reconstructs experience. Rather than offering fixed narratives, the paintings invite viewers into suspended psychological spaces shaped by uncertainty, atmosphere, and suggestion.
Recent exhibitions include HAND, BODY, OBJECT, SIN at KUTLESA, Switzerland (2026).

Meet the Artist: Marcelle Hanselaar
I spent the 60’s and 70’s off the beaten track, mostly in Asia so pop music was not part of my world. I was, still am, into Jazz and Classical World music, so Paul McCartney did not have an impact on me. But reading the title, I liked the weirdness of the line and being that it was selected by War Child it brought up straight away exploding images for me.
