He paints "moods", late evening,
early morning, impressions of melancholy or lonesomeness, "The
feeling you get when fall comes and the shadows change."
When words can't be found to convey thoughts,
emotions, dreams or desires art relays the message in a poetic
and vivid form. Visual art can mentally transport us to a pastoral
setting of peace and quiet, or it's abstract shapes with hard
edges, jagged lines or circular forms, can open our mind's eye
to the curiosity of self expression.
A canvas can silently scream out in pain or supplely
hold our eyes in love and tenderness. Colors of pigment can sing
out in joyfull chatter, such as the glistening lucidity of impressionist
form, or they can fall dull in depth to portray the ache of loneliness
or solemnity.
Art means to us what it meant to the cave dwellers.
Company. Inspiration. Expression.
Just as personalities bring uniqueness to a relationship, so do
different styles of art.
Robert Cook's paintings are found in numerous
private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally.
His work is also represented in prestigious galleries in the United
States, Canada, and Europe.
