Webster Hall, New York City; April 2002 - "Like
the creator herself, Samm Cohen's paintings demand attention and will
not be denied. Bold colors, alternatingly confrontational and apparition-like
faces and bodies, and clever use of mirrored surfaces act like mildly
hallucinogenic flashes of some deeply affecting event not quite figured
out yet, but popping up at the oddest of times. Irreverently unusual,
genuinely original and just a little snottily stylish, Samm's work steps
into the room and dares you to encounter. In a nightclub setting, it's
funny to watch people do double takes."
