Tamar Cohen "Driving in Circles"
Kris Graves Projects
This event has ended.
+Kris Graves Projects announces Tamar Cohen's Driving in Circles.
Tamar Cohen is a New York-born based artist whose collages reside at the Intersection of high and low culture. She is inspired equally by the sublime and the banal; by Kurt Schwitters and Fred Flintstone; by polka dots and all shades of the color green. An obsessive collector of paper ephemera, Cohen loves candy packaging form around the world, Indian fireworks labels, and Spanish bullfighting posters. Cohen uses them to create silk-screened abstractions that according to the New York Times
“stand out for their color and beauty”. Driving In Circles is Cohen's latest series of vintage American road maps and in the project space, their patterns will grow out from the individual pieces.
Tamar Cohen’s work has been shown at the Pavel Zoubok Gallery, the Islip Museum of Art, Pocket Utopia and the flat files at Pierogi 2000.
