Statement

Felipe Cohen's practice develops from the tension between traditional and contemporary ways of displaying the artistic object and from the study and rescue of recurrent problems in the history of art with the aim of reinterpreting and updating its meanings in the present. This tension occurs through the articulation of noble materials with banal objects of everyday use, thus creating both paradoxical forms that are forced to coexist intimately, and command of classic signs and genres in a dialectical process.
