In Ford Shelby Blue, this dramatic sculpture by California artist Lori Cozen-Geller is rooted in minimalism. Using the rich glossy palette of cars—a nod to the west coast’s car culture and as a tribute to her late father (who loved cars), Cozen-Geller creates pieces inspired by emotion. This work is intended to be a comment on life and the message is a personal mantra--“live it with conviction.”

“Although my art is an expression of my own personal feelings, these emotions are universal to all of us.” Lori Cozen-Geller

“You can't sit on them or use them; you can only look at them. And you can't stop looking at them. They call attention to - well, not to themselves so much as to what they are saying. They attempt to reach across a verbal-visual divide to tell stories - or, rather, to elaborate on aspects of the human, and natural, condition.” Peter Frank, Art Critic

Lori Cozen Geller lives in California and acquired a BA from the University of Southern California. Her first work took shape within hours of a profound loss in her life--her father's passing. Cozen-Geller’s studio is in Venice Beach, California. Her work is held in private and public collections in North America.
