Capturing the Verve
May 18 - July 14, 2012. Reception - Friday, May 18 from 5-8pm at The Old Print Gallery
Works in this one-man show span over 30 years of the artist’s drive to interpret motion. With a secure grasp of the human and animal form, Cook, using the lost-wax process, transforms his subjects into pure and potent representations of their own energy and power. His bronzes divulge a remarkable sense of tension and strength, all revealed in the interplay between layers of stretched bronze and open spaces. Most notable is Cook’s understanding of not just a figure in motion, but also the humanistic urges and intentions that fuel the movement.
Cooks prints are two dimensional rhythmic abstractions- chaotic, yet uncluttered, expressions of the figure and the space around it. His etchings and woodcuts are an undeniable indication of a lifelong and dedicated study of motion and the natural form across all mediums.
The reception is free and open to the public.
