PAST EXHIBITION

Ed Cohen: Meditation

June 10, 2008—July 12, 2008

Artgate Gallery is pleases to announce the solo exhibition of Edwin Cohen, a self-taught artist who, at the age of sixty-four, becomes an emerging artist at a time when it is common for artist to make a big splash just out of graduate school.

Cohen has chosen to work within the complex and critically contested area of abstract painting, reflecting his intellectual and emotional life.  He uses a few very simple elements and basic colors to maximum effect, maintaining the principle of flatness and fills his canvases with motifs such strip patterns or drips distributed across fields of white or black.  Cohen's work reveal comples visual distinctions between microcosms and macrocosms - like small worlds morphing mysteriously into larger worlds and back again.
