HIT! BAM! Joe Kopler Art that Jumps Right Out at You!



Joe " Taco " Kopler is passionate about his art and business.  Creating unique art is Joe Kopler's personal dream and goal in life. By the time your done talking with him, you leave with a positive attitude and an inspirational feeling as well.  He is just contagious that way!

Joe is always busy capturing scenic beauty, portrait likenesses, change of seasons and his own funny slant on quotes. Joe's hometown of Torrington, Connecticut, has pieces of his artistic talent tucked in businesses all over town. His murals include the " Party Store ", " Salerno's Deli " and most recently " The Torrington Middle School. "  He sends art pieces to California, Florida, Arizona, Maryland, Oklahoma and as far away as England.

Joe's signature textured technique, discovered while repairing his home, is a method he calls  "Sculptured Painting." Instead of canvas, Joe works off of plywood for the base. Famous Movie stars, Historic Events and some Local Scenery seem to reach right out at you! Anyone that has visited Joe Kopler's Gallery will tell you that his work must be seen in person to really capture the detail, raised effect and magic.

Joe's Gallery in Torrington is by appointment only, and is very laid back.  He is, motivated, fun and happy and you won't be disappointed!  There is something here for everyone with pieces starting out from about $30 up to others at a few thousand dollars.





Call : ( 860 ) 626 - 8226 to set up appointment to see the gallery or visit Joe Kopler / Freelance Artist on FACEBOOK.

Above, a great big Beatles piece!

DAT! Slain by the Dragon! Whiting Mills Open Studios


Watch out for the dragon!!!

Touring the studios, bands serenading the masses in hallways, snacks, and great art lurking around every corner is amazingly great and tasty.  The old elevator tour is absolutely charming and complete with lights and an operator in a bowler too!  There are too many artists to actually see in a single day, but you will have two. Expectations are surpassed and burned right out of minds taking in the beauty of the golden dragon in light and movement.   

My friends will be there, as well as twenty-five artists and 12 guest artists.  There will be surprises around every corner, with a full house of people on top of their art.  At the very least, make the advance in and see the dragon fire.


Robin Proz, nationally recognized resident artist, will not only have a golden dragon there but Pegasus and child as well! Above photo is Robin Protz's dragon mobile made of thousands of buttons.
