Welcome to the Virtual Galleries of Peter Cohen. The paintings you are about to see are in the artist’s collection. They have survived numerous exhibitions, sales, travels, storage and accidents. Now they find new life and a new audience. Peter Cohen is pleased to share his work through the internet and through exhibitions. He is particularly interested in showing the 'Syngamy' series at colleges and having the opportunity to talk with young people about art and ecology.
Paintings of 'Love and Sex' form an introduction to his more recent paintings based on micrographs of human cells and tissues, including 'Syngamy,' the meeting of the gametes in fertilization. In this unusual subject matter Cohen has found the universal symbols of human life and its future for which he had been searching for decades. This is followed by a variety of paintings organized in Virtual Galleries by subject matter, where the viewer can trace the artist’s development over almost sixty years.
Each Virtual Gallery contains a number of “thumbnails,” very small scanned images of the artist’s paintings. If you double-click on any given thumbnail, you’ll see a larger scanned image of the same painting. You may then peruse, moving back and forth through the gallery by clicking on the 'Previous' or 'Next' buttons that are located at the upper left of each page. Clicking on 'Gallery' will take you back to the Virtual Gallery of thumbnail images.
Most of the paintings are for sale and reproductions are available on demand. The section of this web site titled To Order provides more information about obtaining both original works and reproductions. Please feel free to contact the artist’s son, Daniel Cohen to place orders, make additional inquiries or to reach the artist directly. You may see Peter Cohen's resume by clicking here.
