 Bursting
with brilliant colours, spirited lines and
energetic movement, the paintings of Wendy Cohen
express the artist's jubilant zest for life and
enthusiasm for the art-making process. She works
with a variety of mixed media, producing
surfaces that are thickly textured and
multi-layered as a result of exciting
brushstokes and sgriffito techniques. Using
imagery derived from her imagination, Wendy's
works can be viewed in the same manner in which
they are conceived, by surrendering the logical
mind to the infinite realm of the
imagination. As the artist drifts through her
own meandering thoughts, she develops abstracted
images of exuberant beauty, which express above
all that life should be a pleasure, not a task.
Consequently, the unique experience of viewing
one of Wendy's optimistic creations is one of
true joy. By surrendering our serious and
frequently perplexing thoughts to the creative,
playful and sometimes even comical visions set
forth by Wendy Cohen, we experience an often
under-exposed side of art: the bright side.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Wendy lives
and works in Australia and has been exhibiting
her work in and around Sydney since 2005.
'Life is really
not that serious - so enjoy'.
