K. T. Kobel is an artist originally from London, now based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He has exhibited his work globally, including at HVW8 Gallery, which embodies the underground art scene of Los Angeles, and Ace Hotel Kyoto.

Kobel delves into the dark side of human memory, focusing on traumatic scenarios that he expresses through uniquely textured paintings created with an airbrush. His work often features violent and erotic motifs, but what sets it apart is the rich narratives that seem to frame these scenes. The symbolic moments and cinematic framing in Kobel's pieces invite viewers to imagine the sequences of events that lead up to or follow the depicted moments. This engagement prompts viewers to confront their biases and assumptions, fostering a more introspective viewing experience.

Kobel’s approach is also evident in the way he presents his works. By displaying a collection of seemingly unrelated pieces as a cohesive tapestry, he allows a vague, fictional narrative to emerge. This presentation style resembles the experience of watching a surreal short film or montage, stimulating the viewer's imagination and encouraging them to explore the underlying connections between the works.
