Artist statement from Jeff Cohen:

My current work involves the deconstruction and reconstruction of imagery into grids of squares. This allows me to treat each fragment of the composition as an individual work of art, multiple contexts coming together in unexpected ways. The tiles are like verses of a poem or chapters in a novel. I paint each square individually, not looking at the tiles around it. Only when the pieces come together at the end does the whole story unfold.
