Untitled (IV)

In this striking work on paper, part of a series of five related images, Cohen contrasts a limited range of different dynamic forms in a spare palette of red, black and grey, to suggest a sense of the process of change. He has said that through the combination of such shapes he hopes to create an overall image that is simultaneously both new and unique. In Untitled IV, Cohen explores ways of creating a spatial and pictorial experience. The dizzying combination of multiple forms, suggestive of both animal and human prints, stretching across the picture surface, creates a hypothetical ritual dance which unfolds before our eyes.
