Current Exhibit
Experimentation, paintings by Jeffrey Cohen
On display August 1st – September 2nd, 2026
“The paintings exhibited span almost 45 years. I like to experiment with different materials together and see what they can create; like a science experiment or even cooking. I often leave the canvasses outside in the rain sun and wind. Living things are subjected to an external environment so why can’t we see what Nature does to art. Most of the pieces have many layers. This is analogous to us with many layers of our experience. The majority of our self is hidden from external view. Also, there is a space or universe theme in some of the pieces. I was trying to visualize what an exoplanet may look like.
If you don’t like the pieces that’s ok. My father-in-law was a famous illustrator ( Ed Vebell) ; he said it was best that I went into medicine.
It is my privilege that you are taking the time to view my work.
Thanks so much.
Jeffrey Cohen”
