Jeff Cowen studied Oriental Studies, Anatomy and Drawing and from 1988 to 1992 worked as an assistant to Larry Clark and Ralph Gibson. Through the ancient tradition of printing on silver and applying an atypical and laborious photographic process involving the use of chemical and pictorial products, engraving and causing accidents, the artist is interested in the so-called “non-moment”, that point in time just before or after an event in order to transcend the physical barriers of simple planimetry. It is in the darkroom where he searches for and gives form to his own world that is charged with dualities, poetry and sensuality, and generates a timeless corpus. Thus, beneath a simple random appearance there is a complex symbology of allusions and mysteries.
