Beauty and strength are the quintessential characteristics of Kogan’s work. His approach is intuitive, yet innocent, as he relentlessly explores the classic, universal themes of hope, passion and love. Kogan’s statement is consistently timeless, poignant and provocative - exquisitely articulated in a cross-cultural language...and always definitive.
The older of two sons born to a physician mother and prominent criminologist father in the city of Alma-Ata, Kazachstan, Simon was ten years old when his Jewish Russian parents moved to Moscow in 1969. His interest in art developed at an early age and led to thirteen years of academic and practical study under renowned sculpture Isaac Brodsky and the Moscow Educational University, where Simon earned both his Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts Degrees. Kogan’s art is more than visual. It touches the soul. In fulfilling his destiny to create great art, Simon continues to inspire, impassion and romanticize his journey through life, revealing the world according to Kogan.
