Moroccan-born artist Pinchas Cohen Gan immigrated to Israel in 1949 and studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, and later at the Central School of Art in London, Hebrew University, and Columbia University. During the 1970s, he focused on performance-based installations, but later returned to painting and drawing.

He is the recipient of the Dizengoff Prize (1995) and the Israel Prize for Painting (2008).
