I am happy and honored to host an exhibition of the painter Nahoum Cohen for the second time in my Virtual Gallery. His first exhibition at my site took place in April 2000. You can still view it at the Virtual Gallery. Nahoum Cohen emigrated to Israel from Bulgaria and settled in Jaffa where he spent his early years. Later in life he had a studio there and in most of his work you can recognize Jaffa's houses and Jaffa's urban scenes; this is the old Jaffa which does not really exist any longer, but in the painter's memory, very vividly.
The present paintings are in mixed media, 60 x 80 cm. painted on Chinese rice paper glued on ply. All these paintings are for sale, for further information please Email the Artist.
Nahoum Cohen is an architect and town planner, besides being a painter. His first oneman show was in Jerusalem, 1960. He has exhibited in Paris and in London as well. He finds himself bound in the expressionistic tradition, and is influenced by the Japanese print and the comic strip. The present series deals with " Man in Urban Space ", a theme Nahoum finds suitable for exploration by his knack for the city, the humorous and the expressive.
