Los Angeles-based artist Sandra
Cooper is renowned for her
distinctive abstract
expressionist style. Her
paintings and drawings are
unique in their ability to
stimulate viewers visually and
emotionally with both passion
and contradiction. Her striking
images encourage viewers to use
their own mind's eye to
interpret the movement of paint
across canvas. Cooper wants to
evoke an emotional response to
her art, rather than merely
object recognition. “If I wanted
to recreate exactly what I saw,
I would use my camera. My style
celebrates the randomness of
abstract expressionism”. “Why
paint the entire scene when it's
the negative space that fills my
imagination with the creative
possibilities of ‘What if'”
Cooper says.
Cooper's “Heart Felt
Series,” painted under
her “nom de art,” R. Vega, is
reflective of the powerful nudes
for which she is known. Cooper's
style and technique are
reflected in the media she uses.
Whether it is watercolors,
monoprints, monotypes, charcoal
line drawings or acrylics and
collage, her work is recognized
as a consistent signature of
talent.
Cooper's art is featured in
galleries and exhibits in the US
and Europe and in select
commercial establishments and
private collections. |
