Justin Cooper: Wallpapering the Infinite

Cooper’s work examines the ways in which simple lines delineate space, dangling precariously between the hinged and unhinged by using obsessive mark making. Peppered with visual glitches, the artist creates thresholds and opens up thin areas where things exist for a brief moment without definition.  Within the artist’s practice, a cross-pollination of media, he creates an ongoing search for these lines, often using mundane materials like garden hoses, in formal and conceptual manifestations. These new drawings and sculpture continue to investigate the relationships that hover between the comedic and the frenetic according to circumstance.
