Artist Andre Kohn was a fun find on the the Gab ‘Art Group’ this morning. A lot of artists do this style (lots of shimmery umbrellas, rain, puddles, and a couple walking through the park), but his pieces seem to capture the extra details that make it interesting. Who knows why? For me its the splash of red he often throws in, a cool secondary subject. A kids fascination with feeding the birds. His proportion and balance. And then simply the colors and compositions I like. Never heard of him before. Not surprising.

At Andre Kohn Fine Art Gallery, we pride ourselves in representing some of the most talented and sought-after artists on the American art scene today….”

[Okay so now I’m back to square one. I don’t know if these are his pieces or the ones in his gallery. There’s a phenomenon in the art world where its become all about “the gallery”, as if the artists were interchangeable and not particularly relevant. So if I present something here as ‘Andre Kohn’ and its not, my apologies.]
