Yoko Cohen is a New York City based sculptor. Before discovering the seductive powers of clay, Yoko worked as a tax lawyer and litigator. She now devotes her energies to creating sculpture, primarily in ceramics. Yoko’s figurative work conveys a contemporary sensibility and a range of emotions. Using an array of imaginative colors, her pieces often stray from rigorous anatomy to portray protean figures, geometric and amorphous. Allusions to traditional form along with expressions of imagination explore the malleability of the human form and experience. Yoko’s nonfigurative work plays with topological possibilities of shapes, aspirational lines, dense convergences, twists, and turns. Yoko’s work has been included in group shows in New York City and she is a recipient of a merit scholarship from the Art Students League of New York.
