William Cooke
introduction
William Cooke was born in 1989 in Sydney, Australia. He is a Sydney based artist whose practice adopts abstraction to explore the intricacies of the human condition through design, music and art history. He produces independent physical objects that aim to transcend the mind and body. His work operates between the modes of abstraction and design to breach the relationship between form, surface, and the viewer. He makes illusion-based paintings that begin a dialogue, and thus, the work develops a sensory relationship with the viewer. Cooke utilises various supports, such as aluminum, canvas, paper and light to concrete his ideas in the physical.
