Johnnie Cooper: Sunset Strip is the first monograph of the British
artist's work, joining a curatorial initiative over recent decades
to undertake important re-evaluations of the careers of important
twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists such as Tess Jaray,
William Turnbull and Cuban-born, American Minimalist artist Carmen
Herrera. Johnnie Cooper has, for the past half-century, devoted
himself to a tireless investigation into the nature and potential
of painting in his rural Worcestershire studio, constantly
exploring new principles and processes. This book provides an
opportunity to explore the development of Cooper's practice, from
the figurative totems sculpted in his student days to the rich,
Abstract Expressionist works of the 1980s and the Minimalist,
gestural works on paper of the past decade. Johnnie Cooper: Sunset
Strip charts the journey of his signature investigations into
colour, line and form. Born in Wolverhampton, UK, Cooper attended
the sculpture course at Staffordshire College of Art, run by
internationally renowned sculptor Stuart Osborne. After completing
a postgraduate year at Staffordshire University in Fine Art
Sculpture, Cooper was awarded a travel bursary and also won a
prestigious grant from the Gulbenkian Society to study in Florence.
As well as exhibiting in mixed shows throughout the UK over the
past 40 years, Cooper has recently shown work in Dallas and
Shanghai, and is held in numerous private collections. Cooper has
also exhibited with the Free Painters and Sculptors Society, and at
the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, the Mall Galleries and the
Royal Academy.
