Artist, Writer, Jewish Educator
Ian Menachem Cohen
To theorize solely, one misses the fact that real people experienced the subjects we dissect. Creating art allows me to not only combine my love of visual arts and Jewish education, but It also seems to be at times the only way I could illustrate some of the challenges and missing pieces in the discourse around Jews, Judaism, Israel and Antisemitism. Through visual means, I’m able to convey something that words alone cannot, allowing people to either relate or think about the subject matter, via a lens they had not contemplated or known to exist.
I am a mixed media visual artist with a background in Jewish studies, history and education. I work in acrylic, colored pencil, marker, watercolor, and oil, while some pieces are purely digital. I also like to use photography with digital mediums, creating a collage or layered effect.
