This hanging sculpture features a portrait of John Lennon, formed by embossing and recessing the lyrics to his iconic song Imagine. The three-dimensional face is meticulously crafted, with delicate color placement and control that makes it pop out of the sculpture. This piece captures the essence of Lennon’s creative spirit and his message of peace and love, expressed through the lyrics that define his legacy. This artwork is a fitting tribute to one of the most influential musicians and social activists of our time.
AvRaam (Avraham) Cohen (b. 1968, Tel Aviv) attended university both in Holon, Israel and Brooklyn, NY for Industrial Design. While studying for his Masters at Pratt Institute, Cohen had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects in Gaetano Pesce’s studio in NY, where he gained experience working with cold casting techniques and was exposed to a variety of materials.
In 1998, Cohen founded his design and engineering firm, Vertex Product Development Inc. in Great Neck, NY. After years of working with clients developing new products and innovations, his passion for creating art reignited. Cohen is combining his industrial design and manufacturing techniques with his earlier experiences of sculpting, casting, and free-form modeling into his artwork.
