About

Why this artist matters now

Nigel Cooke creates large-scale paintings that fuse gestural abstraction with figurative and landscape motifs, layering art historical references and personal memory into densely worked canvases. His practice oscillates between figuration and pure abstraction, often within a single work, to explore the relationship between representation and paint itself.
