Stephanie Buhmann describes Cohen's 2004 show at Jason McCoy in the Brooklyn Rail: "Innovative processes and unusual mixed-media cocktails determine the versatile physicality of the works. Layers of oil, raw pigment, copper, pastel, enamel, and graphite manifest on muslin as fluid drippings, bold gushes, thickly applied strokes, or thin washes. Brought together, they spawn a mélange that juxtaposes free expression and accidental flow with conscious mark-making by hand, brush, spatula, or cloth. To find an organic balance between freedom and control, between the embrace of intuitive improvisation and editorial interference, is one of Cohen’s main concerns." (read more)
