These new paintings explore city scenes: the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, between structured and natural forms, between individuals and their connection to the surroundings.
I explore the idea of place as a source of meaning. The figures in the environments suggest a narrative, but the viewer is allowed to fill in the story. The environments go beyond mere context because, like a portrait, they describe a character, a history, and a purpose.
Let the paintings speak for itself, I hope you will be able to join me at the opening. The show will hang through the month of November.

This group of new paintings convey the relationship between exteriors and interiors, while revealing small intimate moments of everyday life. The paintings examine the city in different instances of light, and attempt to describe the connection between interior spaces and the human figure. For the viewer, there is an underlying questioning: What is happening inside? These paintings offer a possibility.
Let the paintings speak for itself, I hope you will be able to join me at the opening. The show will hang September through October.

Wanted - Artist Seeks View of the City (NYC) /
Thank you all who responded to my last posting, I appreciate everyones thoughts and especially those who let me visit. If I haven't scheduled visiting yet, I will be in touch.
Currently, I am busy preparing towards the fall, here is a glimpse into the studio. I have added 2 new images which will be in the show in September to the website.
I am still searching for new materials, and am hoping that you might be able to help. Do you live in NYC? Do you have a breathtaking view of the city, or have access to your rooftop? Ever think to yourself that looks like one of Kim's paintings?
If so, I would love to take a look, I prefer older aged weathered buildings and to view them different times of day. I am preparing to visit NYC next week in hopes to meet new faces and find new subjects.
If you have any recommendations, please email info@kimcogan.com.

Going back home from the beach, I have always thought to paint Balboa as long shadows drape across the dramatic angle of the street. There is a tsunami evacuation route sign on the right.

This is a hotel room, not to be mistaken for my bedroom. I was disappointed to discover the view was obstructed by the neighboring building, however I found the actual room more interesting.
