Lovers of figurative art are likely familiar with Cook’s art because the artist shares in their fascination. “It’s timeless, beautiful, and powerful,” Cook says of the human body. “Other inspiration comes from a variety of sources ranging from the Old Masters to modern advertising, graffiti and body art. My goal is to combine these elements, along with my imagination, into a cohesive, strong statement that intrigues and engages the viewer.”
