Sunday Selection-Don Cooper

Don Cooper -Turquoise Healing Bindu
2010
turquoise, watercolor and acrylic on Indian hand made paper
28" x 40"
Atlanta artist Don Cooper creates mesmerizing works. He has won  numerous awards including the MOCA GA Working Artist Grant and Artadia Award. The work pulls you in and you want to linger for a long time. I am amazed at the patience and thoughtfulness it must take to create these beauties. Don exhibited a beautiful show at Sandler Hudson Gallery last fall. Check out the link of his review from Burnaway. This article gives a great understanding of  the Bindu series.
Hope you have had a wonderful Sunday!

Don Cooper at Sandler Hudson


This is a beautiful show of Don Cooper's work at Sandler Hudson Galley.
They are really mesmerizing.The watercolors are on 37" x 54" hand made Indian paper painted with pigment made from stones such as jade, turquoise and lapis lazuli.  The paintings reflect concepts such as "the theory of everything" and visually bare a resemblance to the recent mathematical structure E8. If you haven't seen the show...go! For more info on Don click here:
