"Clouds, from all sides now, 2025"
Cohn delves into the enigmatic qualities of clouds—how they symbolize both the fleeting and the eternal. Cloud illusions are a sensory journey that challenges our perceptions and stirs our imagination. Exploring themes of impermanence and mystery, Cohn challenges the viewer to reimagine the familiar and question the boundaries between reality and representation.
Her inspirations are blending the imaginary essence of Rene Magritte’s clouds with the realism of Gerhard Richter’s. In “Weightless Reflections,” explores the balance between reality and illusion through the interplay of a single cloud, its shadow, and its composition. deep navy sky and the vibrant green grass plane add an element of surreal contrast. The lone white cloud floats weightlessly above, while its shadow anchors it to the earth below, creating a shadow...
In “Just a Cloud Away,” the vibrant cobalt blue saturates both the background and the frame, creating a seamless expanse of vivid color. Like a window into a cloud.
Cohn reimagines the cloudscape, infusing it with bold, unexpected hues—vivid hot pinks, rich emerald greens, and profound navy blues. These saturated, luminous tones transform traditional skies into surreal

Paddy Cohn
Paddy Cohn is an abstract artist whose sensuous, mysterious explorations into textures, layers and distressed materials reflect a childhood spent in the landscapes of the Caribbean. After graduating from FIT, Paddy spent a decade in New York City as a successful textile designer, only to return to her roots in St. Thomas in 1989. There, a passion was born for vibrant optics, distressed textures and the forgotten elements of nature- from sand to mica to driftwood. Her work began with more literal renderings of the Caribbean landscape, expressed in seascape and portraiture. It evolved into the opulent color, mixed-media abstractions she is known for today. Work born, though more quietly, of Caribbean inspiration.
Paddy’s work has been collected, commissioned and displayed in corporate and private collections from the Caribbean to New York to Europe.
Artist statement:
Like the sun-ravaged Caribbean landscapes of her youth, nature saturates Paddy Cohn’s work. Colors explode and textures merge and mutate. Layers of paint mix with elements of nature, effaced, defaced, eroded and distilled. Like maps of some invisible reality, only mystery and beauty remain. In the words of artist Gerhard Richter, to whom her work has been compared, “My paintings know more than I do.”

Surrealism, Village scene (Mexico)
Acrylic on Board

Image: 9 X 12
Joseph James Akston was a Polish American sculptor, painter, known for surrealist abstract painting and Aubusson (for Les Ateliers Pinton Frères, tapisserie, Aubusson) tapestry artist. Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1898 he died in Palm Beach Florida in 1983. During the 1960s and '70s the entrepreneur-artist James Joseph Akston adopted a unique Surreal Expressionist style in order to present his private primordial universe and lampoon its denizens, a ribald cast of animal creatures with human foibles. A successful industrialist, he began his career with General Motors foreign operations and then started his own business.
Intermittently he studied painting, first with Jerry Farnsworth in North Truro (Mass.) and then with Jose Clemente Orozco in Mexico. In the early 1960s Akston became publisher-editor of a group of art publications which included The Magazine Arts. Initially an abstract expressionist, Akston had one-man exhibitions at the New York Convention Center and the Corcoran Museum in Washington. Since 2015 the record price for this artist at auction is $12,575 USD for Spheres Aux Triangles Aubusson Tapestry, sold at Bonhams New York in 2019.
He was a Graduate of Georgetown University. He sat on the board of the Norton Museum.
