Philip Koch Paintings
Description
Philip Koch casts a modernist's eye back on the extensive tradition of American landscape painting from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by bright hues and sharply defined silhouettes, and strong contrasts of sun and shadow, his work energetic and has a slightly visionary quality.

Celebrating the mysteries of the natural world - Philip Koch began painting as an abstract artist but changed to working as a realist
after discovering the work of the 20th century American artist Edward Hopper.
Since 1983 Koch has been honored with 14 residencies in Hopper's former painting
studio in S. Truro, MA on Cape Cod.
13 American art museums hold Koch's work in their Permanent Collections. From
2008 - 2012, the exhibition Unbroken Thread: The Art of Philip Koch traveled
to eight art museums and art centers.
