Seth Cohen (b. 1971, Leicester, England) lives and works in New York. Cohen’s practice combines tropes of popular culture, vernacular forms, and art historical clichés to unearth and employ buried psychic forces. Individual works draw on references from film, literature, historical narratives, bodily functions, and religious iconography.

Cohen received a B.S. in English from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and an M.F.A. in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art’s Hoffberger School of Painting. Apart from his artistic practice, he has earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which has informed his work’s engagement with the embodied self.
