Through experimentation with expanded notions of sculpture, painting and film and time-based media, as well as a continuous engagement in collaborative practice, Benjamin Cohen’s work consists of objects, films, photographs, sound and ‘structures’ to explore notions of architecture, topography, memory and ‘display’.  

​

Benjamin Cohen is an artist living and working in London and Athens, Greece. He studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design (2005-6), Loughborough University School of Art and Design (2006-9) and Central Saint Martins (2012-14). Through experimentation with expanded notions of painting, sculpture, film and time-based media, and collaborative projects involving an array of different materials and processes, Benjamin Cohen’s practice investigates the relationship between, and the possibilities of, image-making, ‘the screen’ and display, as well as issues of exchange and temporality in contemporary life.

Recent exhibitions include New Relics (2018) at Thames Side Studios, London; Thoughts of Terminal Refreshment and Promise of Palm Trees (2015) at Breese Little Gallery, London. As part of Athens Biennale 2016, he participated in Space Revolution, an arts-educational lecture that investigated emerging artist-run spaces in Greece.
