About

Why this artist matters now

Bernard Cohen is a British abstract painter who builds dense, gestural compositions through layered acrylic and oil applications. His work emerged from postwar abstraction, combining color field and expressive mark-making to create complex surfaces organized by compositional rhythm. Cohen's practice investigates how accumulated layers and formal structure can generate visual intensity and spatial depth without recourse to representation.
