Small Space, 2012, oil on linen, 29 x 32 inches
The first painting in this knockout decade survey Cora Cohen: A Decade: 2012-22 at Greene Naftali.
She must have used a marble dust or water absorbent gesso, because the surface was so matte the blue shape looked collaged...the paint completely fused with the surface. Gorgeous.
A large painting relating to another (black) painting not in this post, but on the gallery website. There are overlaps in these vertical strokes to Louise Fishman, but with time such similarities decrease into the unique treatments of each artist. By this time Cohen was working very thinly with paint, sometimes also watercolor.
Terrain Vague, 2022, Flashe and watercolor on linen, 40 x 58 inches
Was this named after Mira Schor's brilliant essay Figure/Ground in her groundbreaking book Wet (1997).
