Sandra Cohen
“Spell to Break Up Kimoi”, Abstract, Yellow, Pink, Acrylic Painting, 2024

2024

About the Item

Sandra Cohen’s “spell to break up kimoi” is a 16 x 16 x .25 inch abstract landscape (-ish) painting on canvas board, in colors of yellow, red, orange, gold, pink and black. Oval and round shapes float into an over-painted white background sky, where the heavier striped or patterned interiors of the shapes below seem to rise and dissolve like clouds, and a glimpse of clown-like facial features dissipates and blows away. ‘Kimoi’ is a Japanese term used to describe something unbelievably repulsive. I briefly entertained titling it “fotutto chutto katso”. This painting is [desperate, personal, political] unframed and 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 in Boston, MA.
