About White Rabbit

Rapid passages, drips and lines in pink, yellow, pastel green and dove gray are an extension of the artist's brush in this dynamic action painting by Adam Cohen.

Adam Cohen was drawn to the arts at just 12 years of age when he took his first art class. The American artist began painting abstracts at age 50 having spent years as a very successful commercial artist. Cohen is known for his grand gestural style—a hallmark of abstract expressionism.

“Painting is always challenging. With each new piece, you’re up against an empty canvas. You must jump in and try to be as uninhibited as possible. No holding back. Picasso said it took him a lifetime to learn to create as free as a child again.” Adam Cohen

“His fields of colour and texture have the breadth and openness of the openness of the sky or aerial views from the earth’s surface.” Carter Ratcliff, Art Critic

New York based artist Adam Cohen creates work alive with the gestural influences of the abstract expressionists generation. His thick luscious, strokes are applied in layers to create striations of color. Often his bright colors break through the surface by cutting back into the paint while it is wet. Cohen studied at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art and lived and painted in Rome for year. After many successful years as an illustrator he returned to his first love, painting. Adam Cohen lives and paints in the Catskills, NY. Cohen has exhibited extensively in the US, Europe and Asia, most recently in Amsterdam and Venice.
