Cohen studied at St Martin's School of Art and then at the Slade in London in the 1950s, during which time he was influenced by the work of the Abstract Expressionists, particularly Jackson Pollock. Cohen concentrated on abstract work, he said that he had a desire to feel 'the shock of confrontation' from art, which he argued, could no longer be delivered by figuration.
