This event has ended.

The weight of our country’s political schism is brought into view, both symbolically, as well as literally,
in this four person exhibition at ODETTA.
The overriding social concerns of this era
prompts a preoccupation with our mortality, but, in some cases, also
demands a persistent need for escape, a release into the imagination.

Yvette Cohen’s oil paintings of geometric masses of color on shaped canvas become objects that fluctuate between two and three dimensions, bridging the divide between sculpture and painting. Often installed in groups, the surrounding space is activated, thus rendering the entire wall as one work of art. Unconventional perspective, and color expand the viewer’s perception of space into one of infinite air and oxygen. Inspired by vast open landscapes, Cohen works beyond the boundaries of the familiar freeing the work to evolve naturally. Process is kept visible.
