Artist Talk: Friday, May 24, 6 pm

Philip Koch is known for his colorful, panoramic landscapes. But he was originally an abstract artist. Seeing the work of Edward Hopper inspired him early in his career to change to painting in a realist mode. Koch has been given unprecedented access to Hopper’s studio on Cape Cod, enjoying 17 residencies there since 1983, an honor granted to no other living American artist. Light showcases Koch’s landscapes and architectural subjects and includes preparatory studies as well as finished works.
