New Orleans, LA
Drew Cooke is a New Orleans artist working in self-taught and self-developed processes utilizing modern materials new to the sphere of fine arts. His conceptual work, photo collages, and sculptural paintings have been shown at galleries, museums, and public areas in New York City, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City. Degrees in mathematics and English contribute to the aesthetic, composition, and narrative of his works.
His recent work examines our hyper-awareness of current cultural divisions by employing mixed-media portraits separating our perceptions into different artistic mediums. Other recent projects include further examination of the pineapple’s mathematical relations to notions of beauty and a series of "art proofs" attempting to logically examine assumptions on socioeconomic structures and other major political topics.
