MAINE ART HILL
Maine Art Hill, Kennebunk. Maine
Ryan Kohler is one of the newest artists to join Maine Art Hill. In just a few years, he has established a serious following. Clients come from all over to see his latest works, and they rarely stay with us long before shipping them off to their forever homes.
His process has evolved over the time Kohler has been with us, and watching his progress has been a genuinely fascinating endeavor.
“My process is evolving a little bit. The main meat and potatoes of my work are still painting and continuing to be acrylic paint, but I’m starting to incorporate the use of tape, markers, and objects,” Kohler explains. I’m treating my canvas like a collage, with more emphasis on the painting than the collage part.”
Many of Kohler’s works have a mixed-media component, so this idea is not new. Regarding the addition of papers, each of his recent pieces demonstrates different levels of this aspect. Some are more extreme than others. In addition, these pieces are even more attractive in person. Seen from close-up, they provide a different experience than from a distance—all the more reason to visit the gallery. We have several new works from Kohler that will show you what to expect from his summer show.
Until then, mark your calendars and plan a visit to The Gallery at The Grand at 1 Chase Hill Road in Kennebunk, Maine.
