Heather Gaudio invites the community to meet Cora Cohen at the artist reception to be held from 6pm to 8pm on October 11. "We are excited to exhibit an artist such as Cora Cohen in our gallery. Her work brings a unique lens to abstraction and, as such, she has an influential impact on contemporary art,” states Gaudio. The exhibition will run from October 11 through November 29, 2012.
Cora Cohen is a New York artist known for paintings that draw on contemporary urban and philosophical sources. “Cora Cohen is among America’s foremost abstract gestural painters. For over forty years she has been exploring an improvisational approach to art, creating rigorous compositions that unravel the DNA of painting. With an arsenal of materials, including powdered pigment, oil pastel, acrylic paint and graphite, Cohen pushes her medium to distress and breakdown, producing works of unsettling opticality (Far Less Tangible States of Being by Lauri Bortz, Independent Essay, 2006).”
Heather Gaudio Fine Art specializes in both emerging and established artists, offering works on paper, photography, painting and sculpture. The gallery offers a full range of art advisory services, from forming and maintaining a collection to framing and installation. The focus is on each individual client, selecting art that best serves his or her vision, space, and resources. Offering five shows per year, the exhibitions are designed to showcase important talent and provide artwork appealing to a broad range of interests. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday; 11am to 5pm; and by appointment. www.heathergaudiofineart.com
