Painting - Graphics
Holger Koch is a narrative painter and a painterly storyteller. In his allusively titled pictures, he depicts the adventures of everyday life, moments of happiness and chance. On powerful canvases with cityscapes or landscapes, on colorful drawings and watercolor miniature etchings, he invents strange birds with red shoes, mythical creatures and bizarre figures that tell their enigmatic stories. Dreamy house facades and streets become the backdrop for his melancholy and cheerful pictorial ideas. His art is liberating, cheerful and thought-provoking; it enchants and delights the viewer.
