About the Item
“American Gladiators” is a 20 x 16 x 1 inch contemporary acrylic and mixed media work by Sandra Cohen. On the top layer, two 'pretty' and prancing unicorns appear outlined in a blue line that intensifies from soft to electric. They appear transparent over the gradient mottled background, a mix of soft grays, silvers, and whites, with splashes of vibrant pinks, magentas, golds, and earthy browns. Sponged, dabbed, and brushed paint, and a faint grid-like structure overlays the entire piece, with small, gold star-shaped crosses marking intersections. The colors and forms suggest playfulness at first, but as the eye moves toward the bottom a chaos and tension begin to rear up. These cartoonishly idealized creatures are locked in a two-dimensional candy-colored battle for dominance. This painting is ready to hang with or without a frame, the sides are finished in white and it is signed 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 based in Boston, MA.
