Andrew Kochie Fine Art

Layered Spectrum

The layered spectrum paintings have become the most popular paintings Andrew Kochie produces. Although visually 3D especially in person, these perfectly flat panels are a celebration of simple colors brought together in an elegant form. Usually seen as an inset are two floating lines representing the timeline of two people in parallel.

"I started the layered spectrum paintings after long thought about color theory and those who loved a sense of visual detail. Some of the paintings have soft edges in each of the layers which gives a softer worn feeling to the abstract.

Some of these works have hard edge squares which I felt my eye traveling more than the softer edges. In my mind visually we are always looking for something more organic, and the hard edge squares give a digital crisp feeling.

Sometimes a theme of a single color comes into play, or a celebration of the warms and cools on one panel.

These are some of my favorite paintings to produce although more time consuming for the final look.

Each layer is like a collected thought sorted out visually. A collected conversation of color cast in paint."

Minimalism

The works of Andrew Kochie are rooted in a common theme of abstract minimalism.

"I had an epiphany one afternoon in the studio and saw how abstract minimalism visually became elegant bounded by a simple black border, and a golden ratio division to calculate the border widths. This became a signature of my works early in 2012"

In conjunction with the University of Texas at Arlington in 2014 a solo exhibit was developed called "Statera - Hymns of Balance".

"Statera" literally translates as Balance in latin. This 91 piece solo exhibit was on display at the University of Texas At Arlington Max Sullivan Gallery November 2014 and extended twice due to the success. Curated by Steve Quevedo, this body of work displayed the process of bringing to life the golden ratio, golden spiral, and the mathematical ratios implemented into abstract minimalism.

Including lectures with architecture students, this large solo exhibit taught students the power of lines, balancing ratios, and artistic process.

"I find myself coming back to abstract minimalism quite often after I work on more complex pieces. Abstract minimalism is beautiful, simple, and elegant."

Early Selections

Selections of early paintings prior to developing the 3D style Andrew Kochie is known for today.

"I enjoy looking back at my older work on occasion to see how it has developed organically from previous ideas and experiments. I love abstract landscapes and how form of lines grew over the years. Each painting has been a snapshot of time."

Special Commissions & Projects

This group of paintings are a highlight of past projects which were more unique and specialized.

Selections include Duvel Glass design, "Jeffery the Giraffe" for imgur.com and the Lancaster Collection of Southwestern Textiles which is the worlds largest privately held collection of textiles in paint.
