ABOUT THE ARTIST

Eileen Cooper’s themes are both personal and universal, often referencing mythology, with its protagonist symbolic of universal truths: love, relationships, vanity, vulnerability. The human figure remains a constant presence in her work often accompanied by a symbolic companion: a cat, a tiger, a ladder, a boat. More recently a return to drawing from life has underpinned a parallel body if work with drawings of those who have touched her life and long celebrated career both as a painter and printmaker.
