Wendy Cohen
Wendy Cohen is a Sydney based artist with BFA and MFA degrees. Her practice focuses on the relationship of shapes, lines, forms and colours with the relationship of natural and urban surroundings that are communicated in a painterly abstracted language. By integrating shapes into a cohesive body of colours and forms in conjunction with collage elements, flowing ideas are manifested that bring attention to the surface and material contents of each painting.
The primal focus of her practice is to transform the static space of each work with variations of colour highlighting the chemistry and resonance of each colour. Wendy interprets colour with the sounds of the soul as being the transcendental essence of music to give her paintings a vibrant expression that captures the beauty of creation as well as her cultural influences. In her textured mixed media paintings, she collages elements of hessian, cardboard, photos, paper and recycled materials that are brought back to life with a sense of playfulness and vibrancy. Observation, intuition and imagination are key to the artist's process as she responds to the interconnection of the world, but most importantly she welcomes the viewer to participate in the mystery and wonderment of her paintings translated onto the canvas with a syncopated rhythm and beat.
