TOM KOTIK
The Architecture of Sound

May 26 - July 30, 2017
Opening Reception June 2, 6-8pm


Improvisation (Scholes Street) 2017

Scholes Street Studio is pleased to present the work of Tom Kotik, an artist and musician who makes artworks about music. Musical instruments, amplifiers, speakers, EQ bar graphs, and tone charts become the shapes and forms of his paintings, drawings, wall sculptures and photographs. Most recently, he creates wall installations of color panels which he "improvises" with the existing space.

"My work visualizes music.  In place of musical tones that reach the ear aurally, I compose objects that entice the eye to listen through color and form.  The shapes in my work are inspired by the architecture of sound.  Amplifiers, speakers and musical instruments provide a deep reservoir of forms and textures from which I can create a visual language to express musical ideas. Though I have used sound in my work, I prefer making silent objects that allow the viewer to compose as they observe.  In this way sound, silence and form can find true harmony." Tom Kotik
