Guigui Kohon develops her work in a game of depths where nothing is what it seems. We approach and move away from a disturbing structure trying to penetrate the multiple layers in which the artist proposes us to decipher an enigma. But which? Perhaps the key is to invert the terms: light would be shadow,… Read more »
My work unchains color from canvas, releasing it to cross dimensions where it is capable of transformation. It travels through painted strands of finely woven mesh, a material perforated with space that provides pathways not only for the transfer of color, but for the infusion of light. Color now enters a dimension where the forces… Read more »

The painted image evolves steadily, piece by piece, taking on its’ form and direction by the addition of each individual piece of paper or paint. I work on many paintings simultaneously both small and large and often… Read more »

The longer the viewer gazes at it, the more meanings, references and associations the painting offers. These simultaneous meanings imbue an image with its intense communicative power. In my own work I seek to… Read more »
