Michael Cooper
Pavel Zoubok Gallery
533 W 23rd StThe expressive power of the grid and an abiding interest in color has informed the collages, paintings and accumulations of MICHAEL COOPER for three decades. An invaluable tool for painters and sculptors alike, the grid represents the very foundation of compositional structure. In a process that he calls “disciplining junk”, Cooper creates meticulous monochromatic grids from all manner of ephemera (movie tickets, product labels, stamps, buttons, etc.). Working within a tradition commonly associated with layering and material density, these deceptively simple and intimately scaled works are at once rich in visual and cultural reference and coolly minimalist in the simplicity of their arrangement. The current exhibition also includes new paintings on canvas that echo the reductive orientation of Cooper’s mixed-media constructions.
MICHAEL COOPER has exhibited at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, NY), the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond, VA) and O.K. Harris Gallery (New York). This is his second solo exhibition at Pavel Zoubok Gallery.
