Flowers Gallery is hosting an exhibition of Bernard Cohen and Nathan Cohen at its London venue titled “Two Journeys.”The exhibition focuses on both father and son’s common quest for discovery through painting, where experience is translated through distinct forms and working processes.Bernard Cohen’s paintings are recognized for their complex pictorial language, in which densely woven lattices of line, shape, pattern and color are explored as a way of processing and recording lived experience. His paintings take their starting point from simple underlying structural compositions, which divide the canvas into linear pathways and segments, such as crossed bars or architectural elevations. These paintings resist categorization within any certain period or style. His work across six decades has been unified by formal attempts to discover and translate the full complexity of life, identity and the human condition.Nathan Cohen’s paintings explore the nature of our relationships with phenomena in the world around us, and how this can be altered through images and physical interaction with space and visual form. He examines and reinvents the world we see through complex pictorial arrangements, using the picture plane as a surface upon which spatial reality can be rebuilt. The exhibition is on view through May 5, 2018, at Flowers Gallery, 82 Kingsland RoadLondon E2 8DP.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/flowers-gallery/overview Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
