Still Life Series

Daniel Allen Cohen’s Still Life Series revitalizes the traditional art form with a contemporary twist, drawing inspiration from the Dutch Masters while replacing classical symbols with modern markers of luxury and status. In these works, fruits and flowers give way to stacks of cash, designer goods, and fine dining elements, creating compositions that reflect today’s fascination with opulence and excess. 

Each piece critiques and celebrates our cultural obsession with wealth, offering a mirror to the extravagant objects that define our aspirations. By reinterpreting the still life genre, Cohen invites viewers to question the values and desires that shape our society, using timeless artistic techniques to make a thought-provoking statement on the allure and impermanence of material wealth.
