Dan Cook
Dan Cook is a British painter, born in Cambridge and raised in Southeast England.
Currently living near St Ives Bay in Cornwall.
Drawing has always been at the forefront of his learning, from early childhood to present day. With a working background in commercial illustration, Dan has produced artworks for a broad range of brands, theatre and design installations, taking his art-working techniques to digital formats.
The last few years has seen a steep curve away from those processes and outcomes with focus falling on a personal and immediate perception of the natural environment through oil paint and pencil.
Dan’s process involves a constant effort to decode and record an ever-changing theme. It could be the light, a surface or just a place and atmosphere that dictates the artwork. In collecting personal responses to his environment, the need for a physical unique representation of these responses has become essential, compelling and urgent.
Working primarily on wood panel provides a solid platform for much of the wall art. Each piece starts from a visual plan but often the first physical markings begin on the final piece itself.
