Ivan Cofield

Ivan Cofield was born in Georgia where he and his older brother used drawing as their main creative outlet. In 2002, Ivan attended Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston and majored in Architecture, but he never lost sight of his passion for fine art. In 2007, Ivan earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where he expanded his repertoire in mixed media. Ivan now resides in Brooklyn, New York where he spends his time dancing and creating art, in all the forms and media that he's grown to love, now inseparable from who he is.

While in residence, Ivan Cofield will continue to develop his paintings which revolve around themes of race, masculinity, emotions, and mental health.
