A statement from Aaron Koehn:

“Rememberance” deals with the loss of structure. The space is composed of a rigorous editing process which allows for the objective to become nonobjective. This process also works the other way around. I was searching for the space to paranthetically speak the interior of st. Peters, but in a very ambiguous way. Without a structural entirety, the space is compromised of hintings towards the landmarks at st. Peters church. These “hints” are mere overlays which shape and cover the structures before them allowing new space to be formed.  More info on Aaron Koehn: http://web.mac.com/aaronkoehn/

For over 30 years we have opened our home during the Holidays to explore our gallery of gifts and creations from our own studio and around the world.  As of last month, we are so excited to announce that we have opened a Cafe to compliment our gift shop and gallery, a long time vision and dream of Victoria Koehn.  With a traditional Bavarian themed menu, we hope this will only add to the experience and excitement each one our our guests receives when they visit us.  We have also added  a dinning terrace over the Spring which overlooks the beautiful Nine-Mile Wetlands in South Euclid, OH –  the experience is quite serene!

HOURS:

Wednesday – Saturday

11am – 5:30pm

Reservations are not required, but recommended for parties of 4 or more.  Join us rain or shine, as we have converted or Studio into a relaxing place to sip from over 70 teas while enjoying small bites and pastries.

A look into the sketchbook of Norbert Koehn, circa 1974.

A look at the opening reception for the Spoke in Wood exhibit at the Mansfield Art Center in Mansfield, Ohio.  Norbert and Victoria Koehn were selected among a small community of artists with the primary medium being wood.  The show runs from June 7th – July 19th, more information can be found at: http://www.mansfieldartcenter.org/

“While at times in figurative work a demonstration of technical skill can obscure the intended content of the piece, the Koehn’s expressionistic sculptures go right to the essence of the human spirit, while never denying the material from which they are hewn.” – Mansfield Art Center

In a new series depicting scenes from painter, Aaron Koehn’s childhood, he captures and interprets the experience of a football practice.  Aaron Koehn’s paintings and drawings attribute themselves to the structure of events and the layers of depth and thought behind self-definition, through individual and group interaction.  Inserting new interpretations on time and place through rewriting the spatial narrative of memories and experiences. Depth, behind texture, light and shadow is a steady theme in his work.  More work and information on Aaron Koehn can be viewed at: http://web.mac.com/aaronkoehn/

Norbert recently completed ‘Mother and Child’ a 18″ x 24″ relief in a slab of slate.  With such an emphasis on wood sculpture, its hard not to forget Norbert’s equal passion for working with stone. The piece was hand chiseled and polished to a mirror like surface on selected areas, showing a fantastic contrast of texture and color.  The piece is part of our Artist Collection, for more information, please contact us at: studio@koehnsculptors.com
