Biography
Mastery of craft, clarity of vision, and a personal connection to subject merge over time to form a meaningful artistic style. This unique voice becomes the means by which an artist communicates his message, growing richer with each passing year of learning, practice, trial and error, and simply time at the easel.
The unique style of a David Koch oil painting is best described as Informed Abstractionism: a confident application of paint guided by strict adherence to essential color and value relationships that convey realism, intentionally designed to make even commonplace subjects visually compelling. Each of the 50–60 paintings he produces each year maintains its own identity while still bearing the unmistakable signature of his style.
David Koch has been recognized with numerous honors and awards, and his work is held in private, corporate, and museum collections around the world. Yet he is as excited about his work today as he has ever been and believes his best paintings are still ahead.
He describes what moves him creatively this way:
Once the brush meets the canvas, the muse awakens. The painting begins to guide each decision. Every stroke informs the next, and soon the “happy accidents” appear. Control yields to intuition, and his role becomes one of discernment—deciding what stays and what needs further exploration. This is what fuels him—spontaneous shapes, unexpected color harmonies, intuitive brushwork, and textures that emerge during the painting process. Each finished piece becomes a record of that journey, a tangible artifact of an uncharted path.
David is deeply grateful for his relationships with collectors and values their role in his journey. Many have shared that a David Koch painting becomes more than a visual experience revealing something new with each viewing—it becomes a sophisticated and personal element of their decor, an heirloom that shares their values, interests, memories, and aspirations with family and offers a lasting connection to beauty and peace for all who enter their home.
David lives in Richmond, Utah with his family and works from his studio and art gallery located in Logan, Utah.
