Lauren Cohen is an interdisciplinary artist working across drawing, painting, ceramics, film, and installation. Her practice develops recurring characters and constructed narrative worlds that examine psychological, relational, and cultural systems. Beginning with drawing and storytelling, Cohen generates figures that move between interior states and shared archetypes. These narratives extend into paintings and ceramic works, where emotional and symbolic structures are translated into material form. Across media, her work considers how identity, memory, desire, intimacy, and power are shaped, rehearsed, and sustained. In the exhibition space, Cohen brings these elements together through installation. Paintings, objects, and moving images are arranged as immersive environments that privilege accumulation and resonance over fixed interpretation. While rooted in introspection, the work resists direct autobiography, offering open narrative structures that invite multiple points of entry and collective reading.‍
