The paintbrush door handle is a clue. But it still seems unlikely that inside this metal container parked in a lay-by on a pretty leafy country lane in Berkshire, works a Mozambican artist by the name of Walter. Yet, here he is, smiling, congenial, and happy to show any passing interest his distinctive, vibrant acrylic paintings, inspired by shapes, symbols, celebrities, ‘visual quotes’ and his own colourful life and background. Born in Maputo and schooled in South Africa, Walter Koch now resides in nearby Windsor and cycles to his metallic cabin to paint. And herein lies the second quirky connection. His “Studio Gallery” is adjacent to the infamous Velolife Bicycle Café and Workshop; a haven and destination for cycling enthusiasts who peddle at speed through this popular arboreal route on a daily basis. Run by South African Lee Goodwin, it is a slick model of an old English public house transformed internally into a rustic, shabby-chic bike-shed, offering on-the-spot servicing of bikes by Sam, while customers rest their weary legs and partake in fabulous coffees and teas with sublime cakes and sandwiches all made in house by Lee’s brother and top caterer Tim Goodwin, and served with a smile by Hayden. The staff, the customers and the artist-in-residence all share a common passion for cycling (and cake!) and their friendliness and enthusiasm is palpable. The whole experience is an absolute winner and I’d recommend a visit to anyone who loves something a little off-beat. To see two large installations by Walter Koch, visit our summer exhibition, open from 15th – 29th July 2017. https://www.walterkoch.co.uk/blog/2017/11/21/a-heartfelt-thank-you monthly 0.5 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511257785838-RLG9SXVL0TVAR5FXX35V/Dancers+at+Fillingdon.jpg Blog - A Heartfelt Thank You https://www.walterkoch.co.uk/work daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511346106567-QE2V9KCQP64FD9Y40VUC/Screen+Shot+2017-11-21+at+20.37.23.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511253439593-K5SRPJVUH8S2LQHGVQ70/IMG_0358.JPG Work - Springbok Acrylic on Canvas - 2012 Size: 91X91cm Price: SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1521837598978-9A5I5P2X2FR3SBJQOBRU/IMG_2381.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511301589549-NMKVL5SJAVOJD4L59Q29/fullsizeoutput_c1.jpeg Work - Mr Linea Acrylic and Gold Leaf on Palette Wood – 2015 Size 85X85cm Price: £750 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1559903526287-1NOUPCRIKGW46UWJ4NN6/Screenshot+2019-05-31+at+14.46.13.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456851022917-I14CZYTKH20F3NT8F5T0/4.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456865071576-9LJLBGX0FSTBTYEQNUIM/25.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d4a125e707eb7a02e4055f/1456851308833-FXAMTSU2HDX9UFCNVHLF/93.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666466851198-96GTTZA7WBSXDDH3P2FQ/Asset+1-100.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511262819186-GR735H3ZSOFAT41XYVWR/fullsizeoutput_de.jpeg Work - I Love Pop Art – HBC Acrylic on Palette Wood – 2015 Size: 78X81cm Price: SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1681136381728-QCEDD40XO1X5JLV3YABN/B48FDCBA-A0D7-42A5-BA31-CD24F3C30D59.jpeg Work - Rhinoceros Digital Print on Acid Free Paper Size: 60X41cm Limited edition of 3 prints 2/3 and 3/3 are available Price: £675 (White Frame) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666366402502-A885GRS4KSV63MXS5OJI/Screenshot+2022-08-25+at+14.58.28.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666458834019-2XUN7OK9FI1FNB1HCXIM/Asset+1-100.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666450183337-T2MC7OJ8RGDOS9MGOTZ3/Asset+1-100.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511303833667-G1S0GFGBTA4WO6IIH1MP/fullsizeoutput_139.jpeg Work - Shenanigans Acrylic on Canvas – 2013 Size: 76X76cm Price: £2 575 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511252299834-R16AZD48X4QXPKNJYMRF/IMG_0296.JPG Work - Ukudumisa Acrylic on Canvas - 2014 Size: 50X50cm Price: SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1681046772194-YWRTB0F9Q6KMBC78NRV4/IMG_5463.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666447351763-FJWBK1QQCYSJTNZTFMSZ/Artboard+5-100.jpg Work - Ochre and Brown Circle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1681898770986-KRZX3CLGDX39IU3EDAWX/BC1A7592-CC1B-4CC9-8FEF-7C670ADC4A56.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511286480130-D3W9IXKKH8TG7Z0IHGHW/Walter_Koch_Zebra_acrylic_on_canvas_34X34cm_%C2%A3280.JPG Work - Zebra Acrylic on Canvas Size: 34X34cm Price: SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1681126004951-DBG9CQ59FM11R9YLOH2J/E9A21E39-11C4-4C95-BD06-C1D8AC9449CD.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1727969877913-1HN65BROOCZAAUBVARUL/Image%2B21-10-2022%2Bat%2B09.03.jpg Work - Image+21-10-2022+at+09.03.jpg https://www.walterkoch.co.uk/new-cover-page daily 1.0 2024-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666457871956-RXASPFV5OVDMWHDA61FH/Screenshot+2022-08-25+at+14.58.28.png Home https://www.walterkoch.co.uk/new-cover-page-1 daily 0.75 2024-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1666457871956-RXASPFV5OVDMWHDA61FH/Screenshot+2022-08-25+at+14.58.28.png Home (Copy) https://www.walterkoch.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511338742751-2H3DKVYRGDYD6AOUWFZ7/fillingdon-bannerv3.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a13378318b27d27c8220871/1511257435561-O3G0FNU2QV8V4U7JRAG0/fillingdon-bannerv3.jpg About
