Title: Kits Storm, Abstract acrylic painting with black, orange, and gold tones, dynamic brushstrokes, and textured surfaces by David Hovan.

Artwork Description

Kits Storm channels raw energy through sweeping gestures, fractured forms, and a dramatic interplay of charcoal black, ember orange, and flashes of gold. A powerful curved stroke anchors the composition, suggesting movement, resistance, and the force of nature in flux. Through layered textures and expressive mark-making, David Hovan captures the intensity of a storm—both external and internal—creating an abstract work that feels bold, visceral, and emotionally charged.

Artist Biography

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.
