Morgan Cohen received a BA from Hampshire College in 1994. He has exhibited internationally, in Boston, Paris, New York City, and Portland, ME. Morgan recently received a Finalist Award for Individual Artist Grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. In 1999 he received the Jean and Kalil Gibran Award for Excellence in Artfrom the Copley Society in Boston. His work is photographed traditionally using color negative films and printed as chromogenic dye coupler prints (also known as C prints, Type C Prints, or Chromogenic Prints), using Fujicolor CDII and Kodak Endura papers for their superb archival stability.
Cohen’s work concerns the finding of form inside the everyday. He looks to the surfaces of walls, objects, and furniture, all of the things that surround us in the world, which become for him surfaces for light to fall on and define. Cohen’s photographs retrieve space by grasping it out of the world, isolating it, and letting it achieve a life of its own. His subjects transform innocuous under considered spaces into areas pure and free of distraction. Prints are available 15 x 15” or 22 x 22” in most cases. |
