Chuck 'Koor' Hargrove

This native New Yorker now living and working in Belgium is a member of the first generation of GRAFFITI ARTISTS to expose in New York during the big hype of the early 80's.

In Koor’s artwork we feel that the life as we know it is not real at all, there lies several other levels of reality that we choose not to see. Each reality tragicly effecting another.

ARCHITECTUAL STRUCTURES BEND AND TWIST LIKE STRANDS OF NERVES IN HUMAN ANATOMY, like the mind fighting to calculate a difficult equation. The use of robotic forms reminds us that there is still a link to a our reality. Like in the works of Mobeus we discover deep transforming perspectives in Koor’s drawings relaying to us that even these new worlds are not yet fully defined. It is here that we find the key to the power of Koor’s work. The rules are being made along the way. However definite they may be, even the artist has to play by them. The longer we look the more it all comes together. We are discovering frame by frame the projections of the meaning of life as it radiates on the surfaces of another reality. A REALITY WHERE WE WANT TO RETURN TO, OR ONE WHERE WE VERY WELL MAY BELONG.
