FREDI COHEN
530 West 25th Street, New York, NY
Fredi Cohen’s non-traditional approach to sculptural art explores the potential for personal transformation and the creation of a life rooted in all of our deepest dreams. Influenced by the self-discovery and actualization encouraged by the Women’s Movement, Cohen’s art embraces the notion that we can shape our lives through intuition, choice, and the power of authentic creative expression. Her artistic journey into varied sculptural projects has enabled her to process emotions that her thoughts or words could not fully capture. For Cohen, each series and piece represents an emotional moment of introspection and a means of working through life’s challenges and gaining insight that helped shape her life’s decisions.
Cohen’s latest series, Visual Orchestra explores themes of harmony and societal healing. This body of work weaves together diverse materials and techniques: primarily sculpture, combined with painting, drawing, stained glass, and mixed media–to reflect her belief in the value of coexistence, and unity. By juxtaposing traditional methods with contemporary modes of creation, Cohen creates compositions that mirror the way varied perspectives can come together to form a cohesive whole. Visual Orchestra serves as a metaphor for the blending of differences, much like an orchestra combines disparate instruments to create a unified symphony. Through this series, Cohen invites viewers to engage in a visual dialogue about balance, peace, and the richness that emerges from embracing our collective diversity of ideas.

My creations are a reflection of life’s potential, exploring the idea of manifesting our uniquely ideal life from the seed of our deepest dreams. Raised with the principles of self-awareness and choice inspired by the Women’s Movement, I see my creative process as a form of personal inquiry and growth. My work serves as a metaphor for trusting our intuition and choices to make our most compelling dreams a reality. In my latest series, Visual Orchestra, I blend a variety of materials and techniques–sculpture, drawing, painting, and unique elements in mixed media–to symbolize harmony in blending a diversity of ideas. Just as an orchestra brings together different instruments to create a single beautiful piece of music, my work juxtaposes classical techniques with contemporary approaches, reflecting the beauty of varied perspectives coming together. Each piece in this series is a composition of contrasts, where seemingly incompatible elements find unity. The result is a visual metaphor for a world in balance, where individual differences contribute to a thriving, harmonious whole.
