Title artwork: Mark Cohen, COVID Nurse (detail), 2020
Mark Cohen: We All Wear Masks
December 18, 2020 – January 16, 2021
Mark Cohen is an award-winning marketing communications executive, graphic designer, teacher, painter, and printmaker. Mark’s hope is that the 14 COVID-19 portraits of healthcare workers and first responders presented in this exhibition will help all of us understand the importance of masking, social distancing and hand-washing.
Beginning in March of 2020, Mark began painting large-scale COVID-19 paintings using pencil, acrylic, and oil. He created a series of 10 paintings celebrating healthcare professionals that were exhibited at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach. The COVID-19 paintings remind us of the sacrifices our American healthcare heroes make every day to care for all of us.
All of the portraits in this exhibition are available to purchase. The artist has generously offered to donate 100% of the proceeds from each sale back to the Cultural Council. Please contact us at art@palmbeachculture.com to purchase a portrait today!
