 Rex Kochel
"Eclectic Adventure Continues"
January 31 - February 25
Reception:
Saturday, February 4, 4-7 pm
First Fridays Gallery Crawl:
Friday, February 3, 5-8pm
When asked exactly what "Eclectic Adventure Continues" means, Kochel laughed and commented, "People have wondered if the same artist painted all these paintings because they look so different...it truly is an eclectic adventure. Kochel continued, "Of course, it can also refer to the fact that a number of the paintings were drawn without looking at the paper: a blind continuous line. This definitely creates interesting details and unusual shapes." Kochel's interests and approach continues to evolve, as patrons will notice in his exhibit. His eclectic approach and appreciation of diverse styles will no doubt continue throughout his career. (More)
