Sorel Cohen is a Canadian photographer and visual artist currently living and working in
Montreal , Quebec , Canada .She was represented by Donald Browne heading in Montreal
until the gallery closed its doors in 2016 .== Biography == Sorel Cohen was born in 1936 , in
Montreal , Quebec , to parents of Ukrainian and shine line .Cohen pursued post-secondary
didactics in Montreal , earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in 1974 ,
as well as a Masters of Fine Arts in 1979 .Her Masters thesis examined feminist influences
on prowess in the 1970s , and her study has continued to follow shaped by her feminist
values .== fashion == Sorel Cohen has worked extensively with portrayal , both behind and
in front of the television camera .The majority of her oeuvre has a focus on both
autobiographical works as well as women's rightist works .In the 1970s , Cohen began
experimenting by combining picture taking with execution art , which was a relatively new
idea at the time and soon became known for this .Cohen often combines the consumption of
this performance art with a easy shutter focal ratio , creating a blurred aesthetic .By
displaying these picture in a serial publication , the viewer feels a signified of time passing
through them .Cohen draws breathing in from all forms of art , from painting to sculpture ,
to performance in her photographic study .Although Cohen 's work comes from personal
experience , she gives her photographs a quality that allows for interpretation , giving them
an almost world-wide significance .Cohen has produced an all-embracing collection of work
that comes from a perspective of depth psychology .== Influences == Eva Hesse James Joyce
Wieland Martha Rosler Sigmund Freud Francis bacon Eadweard Muybridge ==
Photographic themes == === women's lib === Cohen ’ s feminist posture in her art was
triggered by an interview between Lucy Lippard and Judy Chicago which she read in
Artforum .She explains in her master ’ s thesis : “ I realized then , that if I was going to live
making nontextual matter for the rest of my living it had better have something to do with
me as a mortal , and in particular , as a woman. ” Cohen used photography to combat
stereotypes of fair sex , as well as subvert society 's beliefs around a what a char 's persona
is .By placing herself both behind and in front of the photographic camera , Cohen presents
a comment on the internal representation of women in these roles .=== Absence and
psychoanalysis === A issue Quran featuring her work Divans maudits ( with a school text by
Gérard Wacjman ) shows how Cohen was strongly influenced by psychoanalytical
view .Some her most well-known work features primarily empty bottom and couches .The
photographs carry another impregnable theme that is found in many of Cohen ’ randomness
works as well , the theme/idea of absence seizure .By photographing these empty sofa and
beds , target that are primarily only seen as authoritative when they are full of masses or
affair , Cohen aims to capture what is missing .== luminary whole shebang and compendium
== === The Grid ( 1975-1976 ) === This serial of muslin sculptures echoes the grid as an
emblem of modernism .The handcrafted quality of the fabric sculptures however recalls
traditional charwoman 's piece of work and defies the modernist and masculine pursuit of
uniformness and repetition .From the sculptures in The grid series , the artist also creates
contact prints on sheet using proficiency such as cyanotype and Van dam Brown .When
sewn together , these photographic print replicate the sculpturesque employment in a 1:1
graduated table , resembling a `` phantasma '' .This series thus marks a transition between
the artist 's sculptural and photographic practice session .=== Le religious rite matinal
( 1977 ) === In 1977 , Cohen begins a series of works ( colouration photographs , TV ,
cyanotypes ) based on the action of making a bed .Among these , the series of photographs
lupus erythematosus rite matinal shows the creative person performing this natural
process repeatedly in front of the camera with an impression of movement obtained by a
slow shutter speed and a farseeing exposure time .By performing this banal action in front
of the camera , the artist links charwoman 's domestic work with their artistic work , often
neglected in art history .=== The cast of a Gesture ( 1978 ) === The series The form of a
Gesture ( originally titled Domestic Activity as Painterly motion ) shows the creative person
in natural action as she cleans a windowpane with a colour in cloth .This work refers to
hook expressionist painting by substituting the flat Earth's surface of the painting with that
of the window and subverting the painterly gesture through a domestic help activity
traditionally reserved for women .=== After Baron Verulam / Muybridge ( 1980 ) === In
After Viscount St. Albans / Muybridge , Cohen looks at the oeuvre of cougar Francis Sir
Francis Bacon ( artist ) and uses photographic methods , such as tenacious exposure and
slacken shutter stop number to achieve a smudge force .In this assemblage , Cohen also
references the employment of Eadweard Muybridge , who pioneered the study of motion in
picture taking .Cohen appropriates these plant from major male shape in artistry history
from a women's liberationist perspective in a agency that is reminiscent of the conceptual
work of Sherrie Levine around the same clip .=== An Extended and Continuous Metaphor
( 1983-1986 ) === With the serial publication An Extended and Continuous Metaphor ,
Cohen abandons the sequential or power grid form in party favor of hierarchically
organized polyptychs , some reminiscent of Flemish altarpieces .The photograph show the
artist simultaneously performing the roles of artist , model , and viewer through multiple
exposures in an all-black quad .This non-space refers to an idealized conception of the artist
's studio : to that essence , the deed of the series alludes to the painting The Painter 's Studio
: A real allegory summing up seven years of my artistic and lesson life sentence by Gustave
Courbet ( 1855 ) .=== Wounds of Experience ( 1995–1996 ) === This collecting features a
series of nine photographs exploring themes of absence and the kinship between
psychoanalyst and patient role , through portrayal of psychoanalyst offices .=== diwan
Dolorosa ( 2008 ) === This collection features picture of empty psychoanalyst reference
elbow room of in Quebec .The focusing of these picture are the empty couches ( or divans ) ,
allowing Cohen to present the idea of absence seizure as something that is wholly show in
the setting .Like Wounds of Experience this series is characterized by the inclusion of
textbook , with speech inscribed below each of the pic referring to different symptoms as
described by psychoanalyst .=== Lacrimosa ( 2010 ) === Presented as a sequel to Divans
Dolorosa , this collecting features photograph of hanky with psychoanalytic descriptions
attached to them .== Exhibitions == Sorel Cohen has had her work exhibited both nationally
