SCOTT COHEN

Scott Cohen’s work is centered around the interplay between disciplines. He’s a versatile artist working in film, photography and design. Cohen has a long history of blending filmmaking and classic still photography to create photographic works as the final medium – large-scale pigment and platinum prints that are each unique handcrafted pieces. His mural size work is literary in presence and often reads more as drawings than photographs. Memory, movement and nostalgia run through the work as if they are ephemeral moments of journeyman. A recent body of work shot in Antarctica compliments Cohen’s soon to be complete narrative feature film, Red Knot, a poetic meditation of marriage, shot on a research vessel crossing the southern ocean to Antarctica. His work can be found in numerous private collections in the U.S, South America and Europe.
