ABOUT THE ARTIST
Daniel Allen Cohen, a Miami-based artist renowned for his multidisciplinary approach, transforms popular culture into conceptual art. His creations are nuanced reflections of societal values, desires, necessities, and vices, which often find themselves intricately interwoven.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Acknowledging that these subjects can often carry a sense of taboo or provoke polarizing reactions, my intention is to alleviate the pressure surrounding them. Through my art, I strive to make these topics approachable, light-hearted, and occasionally even humorous. It is my belief that by embracing this balanced approach, I can navigate the tightrope between societal definitions of “good” and “bad,” recognizing that they are simply reflections of our cultural fabric.
Ultimately, my work invites viewers to contemplate the intricacies of our human experience, encouraging introspection and a deeper understanding of the complex forces that shape our lives. By shedding light on these themes with a touch of levity, I aim to create a space where dialogue and exploration thrive, unburdened by judgment or preconceived notions.”
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Daniel Cohen transcends traditional art forms, employing a UV print on white acrylic as his canvas. Juxtaposed are 1/2″ black acrylic letters and numbers, each deliberately placed to invoke curiosity and admiration. Ready-made objects embedded within the piece breathe life into the Las Vegas theme, capturing the city’s spirit in physical form.
