Spring Show 2013: Jarmo Koponen and Alex Cohen


Lula Cafe is pleased to to present work by Jarmo Koponen and Alex Cohen for the Spring show, opening March 5th, 6-9.

Jarmo Koponen is a photographer and painter, native to Finland and currently living in Minneapolis.  Lula is presenting a series of landscapes and abstract architectural forms. The images are quiet and contemplative, with an underlying, subtle tension. Kaponen's work has been shown internationally. This is his first exhibition in Chicago.

Alex Cohen's work could hardly be more different. Cohen is a painter and ceramicist born and raised in Chicago whose work is colorful, playful, warm and loose. Lula is presenting a selection of his portraits. His subjects are straightforward and close at hand including his friends and family, icons of hip hop and skateboarding and at least one influential sitcom from the 1980s.
