"What is in a Man's Heart?", Oil on Canvas, 48" X 60", 1999What is in a man’s heart that motivates him to act? How does he impact the world?
The Artist Moving Through a World of Diverse Allurements, 1998, Oil on canvasThe artist must ignore a world of pleasurable distractions
and stay true to his own nature of creation. Only by focusing on his
work is he able to evolve.
Inverted Fetus, 1998, Oil on canvasThe goal in life for each individual is to evolve and improve as a human being.
Chamber of Potential, 1997, Oil on canvasThe womb of a woman is a place of potential. When sperm meets
egg, there is the potential to create a wonderful, new life. During the
lust and passion that often go with lovemaking, procreation is, sometimes,
not even a consideration. It is difficult to imagine that an orgasm can
result in a new life.

Lovejuice, 1998, Oil on canvas"Love
Juice"
My mind
is a plug
and the universe
is the socket.
My mind fits
into it
like a hand
in a pocket.
I can feel
the current
oozing through my
circuitry.
Becoming part of me.
It's a lot of juice
for me to hold inside.
Gotta let it loose.
Let it flow out
onto the paper
and out among
the people;
an inverted
black hole
of love.
My mind
is a plug.--Deron Cohen
"Dream of the Protector", Oil on masonite, 12" X 24", 2010As a husband and new father, I am under a lot of pressure to be able to care for my family. The anxiety associated with this pressure often manifests in the world of the imagination and dreams. The foreboding shark fin in the distance creates a tension with the serene sleeping forms in the foreground.
"You Can't Take it With You", Oil on Canvas, 18" X 24", 2009Everything that lives, dies. Whatever we have accumulated remains in the materials world as we drift off into the non-material at death.
"Communication #2", Oil on Canvas, 40" X 52", 2000Before writing, information was passed down through the ages during face to face encounters. Although we are looking at screens, we are still passing information to each other in virtual “face to face” meetings.

only thing more beautiful than two lovers is being one of them.
"Eve and Adam (Yin Yang)", Oil on canvas, 36" X 48", 2000Eve and Adam, from the Judeo-Christian myth, are two parts
of a whole. Female energy (yin) and male energy (yang).
Lovers #1, 1998, Oil on canvasLovers share an embrace before a passionate kiss.
Lovers #2, 1998, Oil on canvasLovers share a post-coital embrace. They are exhausted and content.
Reality, 1997, Oil on canvasReality
What I see
as reality
is caving in
on me.
It is my creation:
the elation
and the devastation.
A state of mind:
If you think you are blind,
you are blind.
It is a simple twist:
Enter with a fist
or a kiss.
A simple decision
that could alter
my future vision
of whether reality
caves in on me
or if I cave in
on it.
--Deron Cohen
"The Protector", Oil on canvas, 24" X 36", 2002The mother protects the child from everything, including the father. The father protects them both.
