“Cohen creates dizzying arrangements, within which an internal sense of order is revealed to the viewer gradually over time.”

Cohen’s paintings take their starting point from simple underlying structural compositions, which divide the canvas into distinct linear pathways and segments, such as crossed bars or architectural elevations. Superimposing intricate networks of lines, dots and planes of colour, with recurring figurative motifs such as doors, windows, aeroplanes, railway tracks and fragments of the human form, Cohen creates dizzying arrangements, within which an internal sense of order is revealed to the viewer gradually over time.

Ian McKay draws attention to enduring and, in some cases, overlooked themes present throughout Cohen’s work
