JACOB KOHN - painter

In recent years eminent realist painter, Jacob Kohn, has made a shift from this usual subject of water surfaces. Bringing the same soft focus quality and smooth brush work to these new landscape paintings Kohn explores the light and movement in the complicated levels of space created by trees and plants, hills and skies.

There is a painterly quality to these constantly shifting forms that allows me to mix and blend an endless variety of invented colors that create rich and satisfying contrasts of pattern and hue." Kohn explains.
