Levi Cohen
“RHAPSODY OF FEELINGS”
NUDES/BONDAGE
PHOTOGRAPHY
ORIGINALLY FROM SOUTH AFRICA, LEVI COHEN TRAVELED AND WORKED THROUGHOUT EUROPE ATTAINING A SOLID REPUTATION AMONG GALLERIES AND COLLECTORS FOR HIS STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHY AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS. SINCE ARRIVING IN THE USA HE HAS BEGUN TO GENERATE THE SAME ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE.
THE TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK IS OUTSTANDING; HIS CAPTIVATING COMPOSITIONS ARE AT THE SAME TIME IMAGINATIVE AND THEATRICAL. LEVI COHEN HAS DEVELOPED A UNIQUENESS OF STYLE AND AN ‘EDGE’ THAT DISTINQUISHES HIS WORK FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ART OF ALL OTHERS. THERE IS GENIALITY TO THE CHOICE OF SUBJECT; IT IS PROFOUNDLY EMOTIVE, SOMETIMES AMUSING, SOMETIMES DISTRESSING, SOMETIMES BEWILDERING, YET ALWAYS STIMULATES AN INTENSE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE. HIS WORK IS A COMBINATION OF FANTASY AND THE SURREAL WHICH ARE EXPRESSED IN INNOVATIVE, SENSUALLY PROVOCATIVE AND EROTIC IMAGES - IN THE PUREST OF FORMS.
THROUGH THE CANDOUR OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES LEVI COHEN LAYS HIS OWN EMOTIONS BEFORE THE VIEWER. HE HOPES TO INFUSE YOU WITH HIS OWN EXCITEMENT AND ENJOYMENT AND SHARE WITH YOU THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE OF CREATION.
IN CONTRAST TO THE DIRECTORIAL STRUCTURE AND PREPARATION THAT IS EVIDENT IN HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK, HIS ABSTRACT PAINTINGS ARE LOOSE, FLUID, AND MORE SPONTAENEOUS. THROUGH THE INTENSE COLORS AND SHAPES, HOWEVER, ONE CAN STILL SENSE THE ARTIST’S NERVOUS EXCITATION AS HIS EMOTIONS EXPLODE ON TO THE CANVAS.
A NUMBER OF HIS WORKS ARE OWNED BY PRIVATE COLLECTORS; SOME PIECES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY MUSEUMS.
LEVI COHEN INVITES COLLECTORS TO NAME THEIR PICTURES AS THEIR IMAGINATION WHISPERS TO THEM.
