Bernard Cohen Inside Outside, 1974

London-based Bernard Cohen (b 1933) has described himself as "A storyteller and a creator of pictorial theatre."  His tensely wrought and unpredictably complex abstract pictures hold a unique position within the canon of contemporary art. Bernard Cohen studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1951-1954. In 1988 he was appointed as Slade Professor and Director of the Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London. Cohen's work came to prominence during the 1960s and has since been exhibited extensively, including a Spotlight exhibition at Tate Britain, London in 2017 - 2018.
