Kim Cogan paints San Francisco in a way that is rarely seen but always recognisable. He captures the city with it's distinctive characteristics without having to show the Golden Gate bridge, trolley cars or Alcatraz in the background. All the icons have been removed.
His paintings have soul. The sunlight reflects off buildings in a cool haze and the night scenes glow and hum with neon light. There are no people and no cars; just silence and atmosphere.
