Sandra Cohen
“water bearer”, Abstract, Blue, Red, Gold, Orange, Pink, Acrylic Painting, 2024

2024

About the Item

Sandra Cohen’s “water bearer” is an 18 x 9 x 2 inch abstract diptych consisting of two 9 x 9 x 2 inch acrylic paintings on canvas, in steel blue, red, orange, gold, pink and black. The top canvas has a roughly painted steely blue background behind boldly painted oval and round shapes and marks of varied size and transparency. The shapes recall biological or natural elements viewed at microscopic perspective; clinging together, reacting, dispersing and flowing toward the bottom canvas, these forms come to rest, where the colors saturate and appear vibrant over the (hot and thirsty) bright red textured background. This piece can be hung in different configurations (it was painted in various orientations) — the canvases can be slightly separated, switched in position, or even hung horizontally; as shown here, the background appears as air over water. This piece is chunky in ratio, comparatively deep at 2 inches. It is unframed with painted sides, and each canvas 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.

Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
By Andrea Spinelli
Located in Firenze, IT
The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
