•  To order a CD

On this occasion, the contemporary painter used computer graphics
to make a synthesis of many of his works and to adapt it to the Subject : a Jazz quartet in Los Angeles

Three paintings were assembled by a multimedia technique. It was a great way to express the intimate and lyrical atmosphere of Reed Kotler's music.

Two other projects are currently taking shape.

Physical aspect:
In these works, the technique assembles drawing and water color. The music of jazz has this particularity to mix different influences. The stroke is not a simple line that separates two colored surfaces: it gives the strength to the painting by its dymamic will.
Fine art needs a long pratice of drawing.

Human aspect:
The inspiration comes from the meeting with human persons who do their artistic job with sweat and effort. A kind of solidarity (complicity) with the musicians becomes evident in the study of the paintings result.
Contemporary art loves the truth in any situation.
