Monica Cook
Posted by Fabio 3 May 2011
Monica Cook paints beautiful and disturbing portraits of women. Her figures are brilliantly painted, with breathtaking skill; Cook excels in rendering the subtleties of the flesh and details of light, tone and surface. Painted with an eerie intensity, Cook’s figures compel the viewer to study them, often surreptitiously, as there is a strong sense of invading an extremely private moment.
