Aaron Koehn opening in June

On June 3 the gallery will be opening the first one-person show of this especially talented young painter. It is an exciting event for me. Most often, I find myself working with artists somewhat later in their careers - sometime after they have achieved a measure of recognition and after they have reached a measure of commitment to a style or direction. But Koehn - still in his mid 20s - is at an age where studio visits a few months apart always reveal new directions and discoveries.

The exhibition that will open in June is quite different from the exhibition that I thought I was scheduling a year ago. It's a nice surprise.
