Haven’t been to a good Art Opening in a few months, but tonight I was at a really great opening at Jack Pelican’s in Williamsburg of Arthur Cohen’s paintings.

Enjoyed looking at these works, and believe me, it was strange seeing the Monks at the opening, it was almost as if the Sacred and Profane were partying together.

I spoke with Arthur Cohen for a couple of minutes and found out the paintings of the Monks were the most recent, the paintings of himself on the ropes came a year or so earlier.   I liked what I saw and, also, Arthur seemed as if he had no “ego” about his work, at all - which is refreshing.

A student of his told me Arthur Cohen teaches at Queens College - and many of his students came to the opening.    If you want to see more, check out my video, below
