Beginning To Assimilate (2025)

Size: 16 x 20 inches
Artist: SP Cook
Description:
“Beginning To Assimilate” is a vivid and emotionally charged original painting by Canadian contemporary artist SP Cook. Created in 2025 using acrylic on canvas, this 16x20-inch work pulses with energy, layering bold colours and raw textures in SP Cook’s signature figurative expressionist style. The piece explores the turbulent process of identity formation and adaptation in an increasingly complex world, blurring the boundaries between chaos and clarity, alienation and belonging.
Driven by a deep psychological current, “Beginning To Assimilate” captures a surreal emotional landscape — a dreamlike tension between the internal and external, self and society. With spontaneous brushwork and self-devised tools that disrupt precision, SP Cook embraces unpredictability, allowing haunting figures and distorted structures to emerge organically.
This one-of-a-kind artwork is a powerful addition to any collection and is ideal for collectors of contemporary, expressive, and emotionally resonant pieces.
