Eileen Cooper: Hide and Seek
29 May, 2015 - 23 Aug, 2015
This summer the RA celebrates the art of Eileen Cooper RA with an exhibition of drawings spanning almost 40 years of her career.
This exhibition, which coincides with the publication of a monograph celebrating Cooper鈥檚 career, presents drawings spanning almost 40 years. Cooper creates work that possesses a strongly poetic and distinctive vision, and the artist has been described as a 鈥榤agical realist鈥�. An accomplished painter and printmaker, Cooper鈥檚 practice has always been underpinned by drawing. This remarkable body of work illustrates how her distinctive imagery has developed through making drawings that explore such subjects as sexuality, birth, family, fecundity and creativity. We are delighted to display, as part of the exhibition, the artist鈥檚 gift to the Royal Academy Collections of ten previously unseen mixed-media drawings. These feature Cooper鈥檚 iconic female figures, and are multi-layered and complex in form.
