Un Monde de Couleurs, David Kessel

With a brief stint in advertising design and illustration in the 70s, David Kessel makes the pictorial act the basis of his writing and the image his privileged axis.
A descendant of Holocaust survivors, the work of this Parisian, who lives in Lisbon, is born from the environments of the shtetls – small Jewish villages in Russia or Poland, where the sound of kleizmer music echoes –, the writing of Haïm Potok and the paintings of Chagall. Little by little, his themes diversified and, along with Judaism, music, nature, animals, cafes or Amerindian culture became recurring objects in his work.
His works are part of private and public collections, such as the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Cuba, the Royal Museum of Art in Marrakech, the Grémio Lusitano Museum or the Post Office Museum in France.
