A former abstract artist, Philip Koch was inspired in his early 20’s to turn to painting realist landscapes after viewing the work of the famous American artist Edward Hopper. In it Koch grasped the power of a well-painted realist image to entice the eyes of all kinds of viewers. Since 1983 Koch has enjoyed twelve residencies in Hopper’s former studio on Cape Cod. Labeled a “contemporary master” by Fine Art Connoisseur magazine, Koch has had his work spotlighted in 14 solo exhibitions in American art museums including the Butler Institute of American Art (OH), the Saginaw Art Museum (MI), and the Swope Art Museum (IN). Koch’s paintings are in the Permanent Collections of twelve American art museums. Koch is a Professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
