Matt Cohen is an oil painter known for combining modernist traditions with experimental methods. Incorporating materials such as wire mesh, plexiglass, and drawn elements into his assemblages, he creates layered works that reflect both art historical references and a spontaneous approach to process. His paintings foreground the visible traces of artistic decision-making, probing ideas of time, memory, and personal history. Cohen holds a BFA from the School of Visual Art in New York and an MA from UMass Amherst, and teaches art history. In 2024, artist Jamie Young described his solo exhibition in Northampton, MA as "the best work done in the Valley in a very long time."
