Nigel Cooke: WordsNigel Cooke: Words

Published by Andrea Rosen Gallery.
Edited by Susanna Greeves.

British artist Nigel Cooke (born 1973) has won international acclaim for his dark and melancholic paintings that allegorize creativity and existential dramas of thought. In this volume, one of the most interesting painters of his generation turns his considerable talents to the written word. The collection includes a series of short, fresh reflections on contemporary art and culture, as well as longer discursions on the work of Francis Bacon, Ansel Krut and George Condo. In an extended text, titled “The Ambivalence of the Undead, or the Nature of Painting’s Essence,” Cooke engages with the narratives of painting’s supposed historical ‘death’ in a masterfully handled and wide-ranging argument. The artist offers unique insights into the work of other painters, and the practice and theory of painting, while admirers of Cooke’s painting will find the book sheds a fascinating new light on his own work.

Nigel CookeNigel Cooke

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Edited by Stuart Shave. Text by Michael Bracewell. Conversation with Martin Herbert.

Nigel Cooke's large-scale paintings construct a dark and melancholic world, populated by artists and philosophers dwarfed by the moody voids of color surrounding them. Reminiscent of the murkiness of backdrops in a dream, the isolate fragility of Giacometti and the more romantic climes of Caspar David Friedrich, Cooke's paintings have invented a new idiom for the portrayal of the figure.
