Our current exhibition of plein aire and studio paintings pushes the boundaries of composition and color. Artist William Kocher invites the viewer to share his study of Pennsylvania landscape not just from the visual enticement, but with all the power and emotions it offers. Visit our home page for a preview – exhibition open thru June 30, 2012.
This show is an exceptional example of a painter who is inspired by life. Kocher takes the landscape as inspiration….changing, no, transforming it into a moving piece of painting. He expresses his joy…his struggle…his love of place…. through paint. His ability to let us, the viewer, finish the painting visually…is a gift that actively involves us. He paints with a truth and honesty rarely seen in someone his age. Fine work……honored to call him my friend!
If you didn’t have the opportunity to see this show in June, we have extended the show with selected pieces thru July – come visit to view them as well as work by our July featured artist Michael Allen.
