Richard Cook’s Dreams and Reflections
May 25, 2019 § 2 Comments
“In one sense (paintings) are dreams and they’re reflections and they’re memories, and they become more so; but they are crucially tethered to a particular place, all of them, to the point I could give grid references for all of these paintings.
I think the thing about painting is that it’s always out of reach slightly… one reaches for something… like the horizon, and yet one can never have it, one can never even touch it; one sort of yearns towards it and that’s all one can ever do.”

As always, thanks so much for posting this, Frank. I am unfamiliar with this guy’s work but I am very familiar with this kind of thinking about the work. It’s always nice to hear another landscape painter talk about what they’re doing.
Thank you Frank! I love his “stepping stones” all of the paint gobbed on in layers of paintings and his gestural quality. Love meeting new painters.
