Cathleen Cohen


Cathleen Cohen during her exhibition at Cerulean Arts
I am a poet and visual artist. Whether imagery in my paintings are abstract or representational, language always circles. Sometimes the painting calls up a poem and sometimes the reverse. Different themes emerge; dancing, flying, synchronized bodies, conflict, nesting, things revealed, things hidden, spiritual connection. My abstract work relies on careful placement, the nature of the mark and attention to edge. The ground can create a vast sea of space where color, mass and line reflect one another and suggest possibilities.
My earnings from sales of this exhibition will be donated to ArtWell, which brings poetry and art to underserved students in Philadelphia.
