Felipe Cohen’s practice stems from the tension between traditional and contemporary ways of presenting the artistic object, articulating the study of recurring questions in art history with the aim of reinterpreting and renewing their meanings in the present. This movement takes shape through the combination of noble materials with banal everyday objects, generating paradoxical forms that coexist intimately while promoting symbolic updates of classical signs and genres in a dialectical process.

He has presented solo exhibitions at Kubikgallery, Porto, Portugal (2017); Capela do Morumbi, São Paulo (2013); ARCO, Madrid, Spain (2010); and Centro Universitário Maria Antonia, São Paulo (2006), among other venues.
