Christopher Cook (born 1959)〔Art Net http://www.artnet.com/artists/christopher-cook/〕 is a British painter known for works since 1998 in graphite powder and resin, which have been exhibited in, and collected by, several major museums, predominantly in the USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Search the Collection - The Metropolitan Museum of Art )〕 == Work == Cook’s works since 1998/9 have been almost exclusively monochromatic, painted and drawn in graphite powder suspended in resin and oil, onto coated papers, aluminium sheet, or linen. The surfaces of what he terms ‘graphites’ are extremely thin, and involve much reworking but almost no layering. The images have considerable range in terms of subject matter. Formal connections to Daguerreotype, Photorealism, lithography and Surrealism have been noted in reviews〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christopher Cook - Graphites )〕 In some works, especially those arising from an Arts Council residency at Eden Project,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christopher Cook (born 1959), recently appointed artist-in-residence to the remarkable )〕 there is a strongly microscopic component, emphasized by the intricacy of the graphite surfaces, and sometimes linked to Baroque architecture. Cook is represented by Ryan Lee Gallery, New York,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RYAN LEE Gallery: Christopher Cook: A Sign of Things to Come )〕 and by Art First London. He is also a writer, and has published a number of artist books and collections of poems,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oversteps Books )〕 and has also contributed catalogue essays,〔http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/view.asp?page=39623〕 exhibition and book reviews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Cook (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
