PHOTO ARCHIVE Terry Koch

never use blog and am getting out of the art business, thank you

Jan 2015

after  not drawing for almost 6 years i have begun again with enthusiasm, smile.   for the last three years i have been drawing  consistently from the model 4-5 times a week and have made a lot of progress and discoveries.   i have worked only in graphite with woodless 9b pencils rendering  in sometimes and often later with an hb .05 mechanical pencil.   

my direction here has shifted to attmpting to express our playful, spontaneous and creative human nature.my best to you all, happy new year,  my facebook page is public

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Having danced professionally for 20 years i used to wonder what was i trying to communicate with these forms.   What did an arabesque mean?   My art work is about movement, dynamic movement.   It is also simply about the act of drawing.  Underdrawings, construction lines, smudges, can all add an atmosphere to a drawing that communicates a certain human quality to the picture.   I like to see the brushstrokes or marks made.  Few of us are completely immaculate.

I am trying to express some of the turmoil,  activity,  various energies that humans are comprised of.  The interesting shapes and simple beauty of the human body. The work is mostly a result of my passion, my desire to create, and in a sense is as much about who i am as about what i am drawing.

The beauty of nature and people speak for themselves.  They are simply a delight to photograph.                                                        terry
