Pinchas Cohen Gan

Pinchas Cohen Gan

Pinchas Cohen Gan (born 1942) is an Israeli painter and mixed-media artist who was born in Meknes, Morocco and immigrated to Israel in 1949. He studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London prior to receiving a baccalaureate in social science and the history of art at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1973.

In 1975, Gan returned to painting and drawing, often employing faceless figures as symbols in a non-specific space. From 1975 to 1977, he studied with Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996) at Columbia University in New York City, receiving an MFA in 1977. He then returned to Tel Aviv, where he currently resides.
