About the Item

Sandra Cohen’s “lilies” is a 24 x 24 x 1 inch acrylic painting on cradled wood, in blue, green and yellow. Suspended flowers grow from a single stem in a color field suggesting a watery landscape. A hazy horizon shows light from behind, and flat ovals shift between foreground, subject, and background layers. The flowers appear perfectly replicated but have corrupted from the original as if cloned. This painting is unframed with white painted sides, the signature is on the back. Sandra Cohen’s dreamlike painting and mixed media work explores the paradoxical nature she finds everywhere. Cohen layers a constantly shifting ground of memory with snippets of lyrics, invasive ‘earworms’, and the human tendency to create order from chaos. Music is intimately entwined with memory for Cohen, who has been a performing musician and songwriter. She also has a deep interest in science, especially the concepts of modern physics. Using techniques that vary from wet to dry and tight to loose, and processes that may weave between digital and tactile, the act of creating the work also reflects what she hopes emerges: glimpses of a true/false spectrum wavering into being as lustrous, rhythmic, and often darkly humorous hybrids. Cohen is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
