Sandra Cohen
"Ophelia (3)", contemporary, figure, blue, green, metallic, acrylic painting

2015

About the Item

Sandra Cohen’s “Ophelia (3)” is a 24 x 24 x 1 inch acrylic painting on canvas, painted in blue and green, with overlaid concentric circles made from metallic dots. A masked female figure will likely be engulfed by powerful waves, her eye gazing from the exact center of the painting. This painting is unframed with vivid green painted sides and the signature is located on the back. This is the third of an “Ophelia” series inspired by Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”. The female figure features in many of Cohen’s works, and geometric shapes and patterns often suggest paused or mirrored time. 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.
