Leon Kossoff - Here Comes the Diesel
Here Comes the Diesel by Leon Kossoff feels like a fight. Viewers must battle our way through the choppy chaotic brambles to even see the title's train.Kossoff drives paint across the canvas like a barrage. It brings to mind the rush of a train, powering through forests and fields. They carry cargo and people across nations. Much like art does with ideas and feelings - trains deliver. There's no softness or sentimentality here or in any of Kossoff's work. Hardcore defines this artist. He's fond of familiar subject matter and paints it with vibrant, powerful strokes. We can feel his resolute realism. This man wields a brush like a weapon. Kossoff wars with us through time and across nations in his paintings. Some believe this work bouts with tech and that the train represents man-made machines. But it's the artist himself. He's the force behind this relentless image, after all.
