Mina Cohen
Shape and color are very important
to me. I see them in my mind and the paintings become intuitive
inventions. The large paintings are filled with fields of color
and amorphous shapes. The small scale works enable me to focus
my energy on a "detail" of the story. Color and texture
play an integral role in the paintings and are a means by which
I define and unify the various elements of the picture surface.
My iconography is based on experiences from my personal life,
Judaica, and my place in the world. Although there is often narrative
content, I strive for a degree of mystery.
