Nigel Cooke

Unlike the frozen energy that immobilizes even the most dynamic abstractions, looking at Cooke’s canvas is more akin to watching a rolling sky as it passes before your eyes: you can neither stop the movement nor chance its velocity, only marvel at the forms it takes.

Cooke is a mythmaker in his own right, drawing us into fluctuating, ever-morphing worlds where images flow freely and inexplicably. Like the story of Diana and Actaeon, his works, rife with ambiguity, defy any singular reading, proposing new modes of describing and representing all that is intangible, elusive, and transcendent in life.
