About Gary Koeppel

Gary Koeppel has been painting landscapes for 40 years. His work has won awards, been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout New England, and is in private collections in the US and Europe. He is inspired by color, light and composition. He draws inspiration from the likes of Edward Hopper, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Fairfield Porter, and Van Gogh. He paints the landscape to pay homage to his emotional response to the land, utilizing a direct, painterly approach to the realism of a scene. His work conveys a sense of heart and spirit to the viewer-something more than a “pretty picture”. Koeppel’s goal is that the viewer react to the emotionality in his work, and be drawn in by its composition and light. Pleasure comes when the viewer is moved to feel something akin to how a special song invokes a powerful memory from the past.

“The elements that attract me to a scene have to do with composition, color, the contrasts of light and dark. When I paint a tree in a field the tree becomes secondary to describing the space around it. What I like best about being and painting in the landscape is that when I’m there, I can capture the moment, I can stop time and study it. Through that observation an imprinted memory of the scene remains and resonates for me. “
