Artwork Description

Crispy Edges explores the tension between structure and spontaneity through bold geometry and layered surfaces. Fragmented shapes in warm yellows, ochres, greens, and soft neutrals interlock and separate across a textured ground, creating a rhythmic visual dialogue. Through collage-like construction and expressive line work, David Hovan captures moments of contrast and balance—where sharp boundaries meet intuitive movement, inviting the viewer to navigate the space between order and emotion.

David Hovan is a Vancouver-based artist and writer whose practice spans painting, literature, theatre, and film. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, he studied in the Middle East and the United States, earning a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts, followed by doctoral studies in art history, theory, and criticism at the University of Illinois.

His painting practice centres on abstraction as an exploration of memory, identity, and perception. Working through layered surfaces, colour, texture, and gesture, Hovan investigates the shifting relationship between what is seen, what is remembered, and what remains unresolved. His work moves between expressive intensity and quiet restraint, allowing form and meaning to emerge without imposing a fixed interpretation.

His paintings are held in collections throughout Canada and internationally.
