Philip Koch (b. 1948) is an American artist known for his evocative landscape paintings that draw inspiration from the natural world and the traditions of 19th and early 20th-century American art. Working primarily in oils, Koch€™s work is characterized by its bold use of light and color, often reflecting a sense of solitude and introspection. A lifelong admirer of Edward Hopper, Koch has been granted multiple residencies in Hopper's former studio, which has deeply influenced his artistic vision. His paintings have been exhibited widely across the United States and are held in numerous museum collections. Koch is also a dedicated educator, sharing his passion for art through teaching and workshops.
