José Antonio Covo Meisel's visual production finds its roots in heavily expressionistic, cruelly mocking, half-haphazardly created paintings, which are done in a style so fundamental as to never be repeated. Instead, reading and writing has come to have an ever-increasing role in his praxis. Every exhibition, usually composed of photographs, paintings and other (mostly) two-dimensional objects, is always accompanied by some form of textual addendum, which has more to do with the visual work than the literary, the latter being cemented by the publication of a novel, as well as the upkeep of a blog, which is more related to the literary part of his work. Among his interests are psychoanalysis, science fiction, the points of contact between ethics and aesthetics, and the questioning of the nature of reality. He has participated in a number of exhibitions, including NO TENGO HAMBRE, Valenzuela Klenner Galeria, 2012. La Otra, Bogotá, 2013. Una cierta muerte, Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena, XV Salones Regionales, 2014. El niño peristalsis y la comitiva vomitiva, Valenzuela Klenner, 2015.
