TALK ( to yourself )

May 5 – May 30, 2023

Currently in the Rick Faries Gallery is contemporary Bermudian artist James Cooper. Cooper transforms the Rick Faries Gallery with his large sculptural works.

“I am inspired by everything I encounter, but I am a minimalist at heart. I always

seem to want to reduce the complexities I experience to a simple abstracted form. With this group of sculptures I am primarily driven by textures and colours in order

to evoke an overall feeling as opposed to a thought. By addressing sensations in

this way I am intentionally creating a relaxed, playful aesthetic. While the individual objects in the room are obviously important in their own right, I am equally as

focused on the overall atmosphere they create. By ‘unfocusing’ our minds I feel

we can get a rich sense of where we are from that supersedes the literal

and political.” – James Cooper

TALK ( to yourself ) will have a special artist reception for the Masterworks membership on Friday May 12, from 5:30-8pm.
