Mark Cohen is an award-winning graphic designer, marketing communications executive, teacher, painter, and printmaker.

His subject matter utilizes contemporary and past iconic figures from all walks of life, including politics, popular culture, entertainment, and war and peace.

Cohen’s paintings are large scale monochromatic works that demand notice. They have energy, impact and size. In these paintings, viewers can investigate issues of antisemitism and genocide.

Cohen’s intention is to remind viewers that more than 75 years after the Holocaust, we live in a world of not only continuing antisemitism, but hateful biases that result in genocides and senseless killings around the world.

Cohen hopes that all of us will do everything possible to end hatred and promote understanding toward all people.
