Elemental Force. The work suspends gravity and paint and creates a flow which mirrors the origin from which both emerge. It replays this interdependence with color and movement-reflecting the Earth in cross section. 3 origin pieces can work together or stand alone.
Specifics: Enamel on canvas done with a unique technique of lying underneath the canvas to manipulate the movements. Beautifully framed with 2 inch deep frame. 1/2 inch border seen in front as the canvas floats within. Vibrant colors. Abstract Presentation.
About The Artist:
“I have been painting with light my entire career. But lighting design is ephemeral. Once you see my work, it evaporates, and you are left with the impression I leave you attached to the music and environment you are present in at the time. Painting has allowed me to channel those visual disciplines in the 3-dimensional world of canvas and paint." Steve’s work has been exhibited at numerous galleries and fairs and is private collections.
When not painting Steve is an award-winning production designer, lighting and video designer and director. Over his 40 year career in the music and television industry, Cohen has designed tours and major events for many of the world’s most prominent music and comedy artists including Billy Joel, Elton John,Reba McEntire, Sugarland, Tim McGraw, LennyKravitz, Blake Shelton, Justin Timberlake, N’Sync, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, John Mellencamp, Hall and Oates, Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, Don Henley and The Eagles to name a few, as well as numerous TV productions for HBO, Showtime, MTV, VH1 including Whoopi Goldberg on Broadway and Dane Cook and George Lopez.
