reception

“The original and always surprising world of the Freiberg painter springs from an almost exuberant fantasy. His works take the viewer into a parallel universe full of bizarre figures, strange animals and even objects that have come to life - all mostly occupied with highly idiosyncratic activities. Koch's impasto-painted pictures exude great cheerfulness and friendliness. The painter's view of his fabulous people is never maliciously caricaturing, but shaped by the warmth of the heart and friendliness to people and creatures. "

Koch has had a significant number of exhibitions since 1982.
