Since the late 1990s, British artist Nigel Cooke (born 1973) has explored and stretched the boundaries of figurative painting, creating a highly diverse and distinctive body of work. This monograph focuses on Cooke's recent output of abstract, calligraphic images, which display a delicate balance of emotive color and form.
