Avid fisherman, Giehl and his husband spend much of their time on the waters in and around East Hampton, New York. His seascape paintings are inspired from the numerous fishing trips in local waters on the East End of Long Island. Like so many other artists, Giehl was drawn to the Hamptons for the amazing light and natural beauty. His seascape paintings highlight the subtleness of horizon – where air meets land meets water. Each painting is orchestrated to not only capture the physical beauty of the East End, but to also capture a state of mind, atmosphere and aura of the images captured on these fishing trips. Giehl’s seascape paintings are intended to induce a level of calm and tranquility. An exaggerated version of the image inspiration, both from a color and composition perspective, Giehl’s seascapes draw the viewer into a surreal and somewhat otherworldly scene. Giehl utilizes a combination of acrylic and oil to create his seascape paintings. Each painting starts with a base layer of acrylic paint to enhance the depth and ultimate hues of oil paint. Use of brayers are an important aspect to the process Giehl utilizes to create his seascapes. Particularly when painting the sky, brayers add a level of abstraction to the composition. The imprecise nature of layering paint with brayers forces Giehl to embrace unpredictability into his paintings. Giehl’s approach to seascape paintings is decidedly modern. His deliberate subdued palette and simplicity of subject, transcends the traditional seascape form to an elevated experience.

Kurt Giehl is an artist residing in East Hampton, New York. Giehl is a painter using a combination of oil and acrylics. After a successful 23 years on Wall Street, Giehl decided to leave his financial career behind and pursue his passion for art full time. Having only dabbled in art while on Wall Street, Giehl and his husband relocated from Manhattan to East Hampton to fully immerse himself into the East End art scene. Avid fisherman, Giehl and his husband spend much of their time on the waters across the South and North Forks of Long Island. His seascape paintings are all inspired from the numerous fishing trips in local waters. Like so many other artists, Giehl was drawn to the Hamptons for the amazing light and natural beauty. His seascape paintings highlight the subtleness of horizon - where air meets land meets water. Each painting is orchestrated to not only capture the physical beauty of the east end, but to also capture a state of mind, atmosphere and aura of the images captured on these fishing trips. In other paintings, Giehl smears the paint across the canvas using palette knives and home-made tools to blend and move the paint across the canvas in unexpected and exciting ways. Drawing from his professional career on Wall Street, Giehl's work is heavily influenced by process and the bold, direct and precise nature of his former career. His work is an adventurous combination of hue and construction. Breaking from what made him successful in banking, Giehl approaches each painting as a dynamic puzzle that unfolds itself over the creative process. kurtgiehl.com instagram/kurtgiehl kurtgiehl@gmail.com 917-628-0282
