Nancy Cohen
Heidi Cho Gallery
522 W 23rd StThe Heidi Cho Gallery takes great pleasure in presenting, Unbroken, an exhibition of one artist with a singular vision, Nancy Cohen. Cohen's sculpture is informed by a richness of substances and material. Using industrial materials, the artist sculpts biomorphic forms that feel as if they have just completed molting.
In this newest body of work, vulnerability plays a key role. We see it in the fragility of Cohen's structures. The work speaks to the fact that the human spirit is easily bruised and yet it struggles, it perseveres and in the end it prevails. Strength and clarity suffuses the work.
The artist states, "In much of the work there is an implicit human presence. Survivors exist singly in Cradle and together in Itinerant Couple... They in habit the empty spaces of the work, are carried by the unmoving wheels and, above all, are reflected in the fragile beauty of the elements and surfaces - skins, laces, meshes and sheets of translucent hand-worked paper, glass and monofilament. Throughout, there is a sense of the body - its touch and tenderness, its frailty and endurance."
Nancy Cohen received her MFA from Columbia University in 1984. She also studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine. Her work can be found in many public and private collections. She has also received numerous commissions for public art projects.
