Over the Edge | Moti Mordechay Cohen

Moti Mordechay Cohen (מוטי כהן) is an Israel artist interested in art for more than four decades and has been painting and drawing for more than three decades. He works without prior planning in an intuitive process until a theme, an idea, or a vision finds him. He paints in a studio with no windows as he does not need a view. He uses industrial materials like tar, black ink, and other colors which enable him to express his feelings. A good painting to him manages to arouse the viewer’s interest and thought.

The Map of A Myth V | Kwong Kwok Wai

(51 cm X 61 cm, oil and acrylics on canvas, 2022)

I usually start with concepts in my painting process, and concepts converted into symbols. With abstractions suggestive of old places, I try to build up a connection between history and contemporary art. Having always liked drawing maps of some imaginary places since childhood, I recently experimented portraying history with maps. In this painting, I employed a topographical map of Hong Kong in 1904, and transformed the symbols of the village settlements into abstract patterns.
