73 72 Biography David Cohen is a visual artist and a child and adolescent psychiatrist. His artistic career led him to explore several media such as painting, sculpture and also performance. He lives in Paris, France and Pietrasanta, Italy. His plastic ambition is above all poetic and aesthetic. His exhibitions usually address various themes in which effects of trace or memory, and existential questions, invariant of the human condition, intertwine. He often favors color and variations (like in music) as a constant source of inspiration. In addition to his visual art activities, David Cohen is also a curator and a member of several committees or foundations supporting outsider art or art therapy (Entreprendre pour aider; Les Lutins de l’Art; Art Absolument Price for Outsider Art). He is currently member of the Board of Governors of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, Israel. http://www.dcohen.biz/ As a physician, David Cohen is Professor at Sorbonne University and head of the department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at La Salpêtrière hospital in Paris.
