About the Item

“wishbone” is a 16 x 20 x .25 inch acrylic painting on canvas board by Sandra Cohen. This abstract internal 'landscape', in vibrant and warm colors of burgundy, pink, red, cream, and yellow, blends multiple layers of paint and washes with expressive brushstrokes and destroyed bits of rythmic geometrical textures. Overhanging tree branches and a fading group of down-pointing triangles peek from the top of a loosely painted background of creamy pinks, yellows and ochres. Towards the middle of the painting, obscured lines of perspective converge behind a central fiery burst of hot pinks and reds extending it's elliptical 'wishbone' shape onto the right side. This ethereal figure appears to float slightly above an echoing shadow amid a rising vapour of blue and brown circular patterns, dotted forms, and destroyed bits of text. The painting feels emotional and introspective, like an internal landscape or a visual meditation. It balances tension and calm—an interplay between the raw emotion at the center and a dreamy precipice of a serenity in its atmospheric base. This painting is 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 based in Boston, MA.
