Cossette Zeno is an artist that feels and sees things differently, a timeless imagination in action, unfolding, diversifying, growing, maturing, forever dreaming. Her intuitive compositions express forms and movements that have a dream-like quality. Let your senses feel these new locations, revel in this colorful world, experience the joy of discovering new realities and rediscovering forgotten ones.
Featured at The MET
Part of the "SURREALISM BEYOND BORDERS” exhibit launched in October 2021, Cossette exhibited her oil painting piece titled “Ni hablar del peluquín” (No use to talk about the little wig) created in 1952. Zeno countered the conservative academicism taught at the University of Puerto Rico with a series of humorous, biomorphic compositions with proto-feminist messages. This Surrealist portrait of a toupee atop a stack of fleshy, leaflike forms wryly mocks male vanity.
