Roksan Kohen - Visual Artist 

Roksan’s series of works mainly explores humans interconnected relationships with their contemporary environments and the processes of transformations through time and generations. The sentence; “All things linger, all things last “from the novel “Jerusalem” by Alan Moore, has inspired her recent body of work about Time. Her artwork includes drawing studies from nature, research of the recent studies about the concepts of time, solo and collaborative artistic experiments, drawings with pen, ink and watercolours as well as paintings with acrylics and oils.

​

She sees landscapes of a nonlinear time on the surfaces she that works. She layers the past, present and future all at once and on top of each other. She builds the moments within centuries and vice versa. Every mark stays and spontaneously forms the random scenery of Roksan’s work. Organically growing lines and shapes marks her imaginary lands permanently. They fill the surfaces and the space overwhelmingly with stories which could be seen from a different perspective each time they are looked at, allowing the onlooker to question and consider what they already know, remember or forgot in time.
