SFSAC ARTIST MEMBER - SPOTLIGHT

Michael Coop - Paintings

    A LIFE OF making, studying, and looking at art

    I make abstract art . . .


    "I use a particular method of improvisation, utilizing many colors, but the result is

    unpredictable. 


    Each work uses color to create a layered surface of marks, gestures and shapes. 


    Hopefully the resulting image will grab your attention and invite you to explore its numerous resolutions .  .  ."


    Michael is fascinated by the interaction of colors and the accretion of visual texture in paintings as the surface is developed. Layered, colored surfaces and shapes interact and reveal pieces of each work’s underpainting and the many stages of change during the working process. 


    His current paintings blend gestural marks and color into an image ultimately created by masking much of the surface with an additional layer of paint. These shapes and the visual events inside the shapes interact as foreground-background, windows into a hidden environment, an arrangement of puzzle pieces, or sometimes simple geometry.


    His work nods to the passage of time, the impact of the elements on a surface, and the beauty of the resulting decayed image.  .  .
