Contemporary artist Martin Varennes Cooke merges fine art with a distinctly Pop Art aesthetic for a truly distinctive style. Working with charcoal and conte crayon, Varennes Cooke’s prints are richly textured, always saturated in extraordinary colours, and brimming with a vitality that often so escapes printed art. ‘Lake District’ depicts the rolling peaks of the Cumbrian countryside, bathed in the light of a fiery sunset sunshine yellow, fire engine red and burnt orange coalesce on the mossy green mountain slopes, underneath an icy grey sky. Varennes Cooke’s eye for bold composition, combines here with the stunning use of colour palette, for a beautiful gem of contemporary print making.
