Isalos Fine Art

Eugene Koch, Sweet Sea, scored acrylic, oil, 24" x 24"

Lines of Sight, new work by Eugene Koch will show at Isalos Fine Art, Stonington from August 21st through September 3rd. An artist’s reception will take place on Friday, August 21st from 4 to 7 p.m. The public is welcome.

In his studio atop Russ Hill in Stonington, Eugene Koch has created art for over twenty years. During that time, his work has taken various forms, but his improvisational and intuitive process has been a constant, as has his preoccupation with using lines as mantra, a repetition intended to clear the mind as one passes into a contemplative state. In this show, Koch created lines either by scratching into acrylic panels or wrapping fishing line around panels, creating varying degrees of translucency that suggest water surfaces and fog. The largest, “Fogbound #2” uses over three miles of fishing line.
