Cole Barash is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Working in the mediums of digital, analog, and archival photography, he often focuses on the conversation of color and composition between two objects or moments. Well acquainted with international subcultures, Cole seeks “subjects where the boundaries are more open and not as seasoned.” Using an organic approach, his portraiture and still lifes became known for their candid and spontaneous sense of intimacy.

I'm a huge fan of Cole's work. It's emotive and powerful, providing unique perspectives across works from abstract landscapes to portraits to snapshots of everyday life. He has published several books, exhibited his work across the globe, and has been hired by leading publications including the New York Times, the New Yorker, W Magazine, and many more.

Their label, Run For Cover describes their music as: “Like abstract collages, their songs jumble richly detailed scenes and vivid imagery, papering over one moment with the next until each string of seemingly unrelated thoughts coalesces into a breathtaking work of art, one that reveals deep truths about ourselves and our psyches.”
