“Vincenzo Cohen to Release New Art Collection, BODIES ARMY, in 2024”

Italian multidisciplinary artist Vincenzo Cohen has released his latest book, “Bodies Army, Art Collections 2024.” Published by SNAP Collective, the hardcover book features 128 illustrated color pages in high print quality.

The book focuses on Cohen’s latest productions, which center around the human figure and its unconscious content. Through his work, Cohen explores the body as a form of armor and protective shield. Inspired by the direct observation of life drawing and Greek-Roman sculpture, the book represents the culmination of Cohen’s personal experiences and inner growth.

The illustrations in the book aim to shed light on the concepts of social resilience and the spirit of combattiveness. They also explore the theme of relational trauma, drawing on Cohen’s own experiences. The first part of the book features a collection of paintings titled “Armored Corps,” which delves into the concept of “introjection” and the depths of the human psyche. Within this section, there is a subsection dedicated to “human shields,” depicting figures in the act of twisting and protecting themselves using their bodies as shields.

Adding a scientific perspective to the book is Dr. S. Michelini, a PhD psychologist and Clinical Criminologist Expert in Affectivity, Trauma, and Relationships. In this section of the book, Dr. Michelini provides insight into the metaphor of the shield and its implications in the treatment of trauma.

The second part of the book showcases a digital art collection titled “DOPPIO,” in which works from various painting collections are reinterpreted digitally to represent the dichotomy between “light and shadow” within the human personality.

Through his twisted and folded figures, Cohen portrays innate fears and defense mechanisms towards the outside world, highlighting how the body becomes a fortress and protection of the self. The book is now available for purchase through SNAP Collective’s website.
