| Charles Koegel's studio, on the other side of Atlantic Ave, which I visited in August. We first met at the Fountainhead Residency in Miami, where he was finishing up. He had a show at Dimensions Variable, which I loved. I was particularly taken with his drawings of apartment buildings with geometric, domed skies. Here is a small fire escape he built. |
 |
| Patterns Charles uses in his work. He is rigorous, often taking classes to build skill sets needed for particular bodies of work. |
 |
| My favorite painting: geometry meets Japanese painting. |
 |
| These paintings recall the Miami drawings, but are more physical, |
 |
| combining oil and acrylic in a layered application. |
 |
| Geometry. |
 |
| and decay. |
 |
| Paper tapestry. |
 |
| Slight color changes. |

| Charles' work is featured in Earthward, opening Thursday 10/24 at 538 29th St. Earthward link This exhibition is curated by David Gibson and includes two paintings of mine with works by Sandy Litchfield, Charles Koegel, Thomas Frontini and Alysha Colangeli. |
 |
| He photographs his travels around the city and beyond. |

 |
| Not sure--but I liked it. |
 |
| Again not sure, but loved it. |
