Alex Bradley Cohen in ‘Elaine, Let’s Get the Hell Out of Here’ at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery

Tariq’s multi-colored shirt and the explosion of lines on the wall behind him – not to mention his colorful crown – merge a man and an abstract artwork in young Chicago-based artist Alex Bradley Cohen’s painted portrait. (In ‘Elaine, Let’s Get the Hell Out of Here’ at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery through Aug 18th).

Alex Bradley Cohen, Tariq, acrylic on canvas, 44 x 40 inches, 2015.
