Nigel Cooke

Nigel Cooke is an English fine artist and he is one of the UK’s most up and coming talents.  

His work seems quite sketchy but controlled at the same time and his work is liner based.

I really like Nigel Cooke’s cityscapes artwork. Cooke has done paintings of well known cities from around the world. He uses a loose drip painting style which brings the cities to life. It makes the cities look busy and colourful.

Cooke has displayed his work around the UK such as the Tate Modern in London also around the world in New York. 

I have used some of Nigel Cooke's work in past projects that I have done in college. 

I enjoyed looking at his work as I think they are different and interesting to look at.  

Fine Art Exhibition

An exhibition that I would recommend to see would be an Undergraduate Fine Art Exhibition in London done by students in Goldsmiths university of London. I think it would be a good idea to visit other student’s work to get inspiration and to get a good idea what displaying your work in university would be like in an exhibition. It would be a good place for students to get recognized and to get their work out there for the public to see.

Abstraction

Abstraction postcards.  

I took a drawing from people and pattern project and used it for my abstraction project. I put the image onto Photoshop and experimented with effects and layers to create postcards for an exhibition at the Tate modern.
I liked the way they turned out as I think they look professional and eye catching. I printed them out on photo paper to put into my portfolio. I think that they look good displayed in my portfolio, it shows that I can use a range of media and different skills within Art and Design.
