Origins (January 2025)
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 16 x 20 inches
Artist: Scott P Cook
Description:
“Origins” is a striking original painting by Canadian figurative expressionist SP Cook, completed in January 2025. This 16x20-inch acrylic on canvas artwork dives deep into questions of identity, memory, and the primal forces that shape our beginnings. With his signature raw textures, layered brushwork, and emotionally intense palette, SP Cook brings to life a dreamlike composition that feels both ancient and immediate.
In “Origins”, fractured figures and architectural suggestions emerge from bold abstraction, evoking a subconscious terrain where personal history and collective myth intersect. The work reflects SP Cook’s ongoing exploration of the human psyche — particularly the tension between where we come from and who we become.
Created using self-devised tools that interrupt total control, the painting embodies Cook’s intuitive process and unfiltered expression. Every inch of the canvas tells a story of excavation — of peeling back layers to reveal something essential, unspoken, and emotionally raw.
About the Artist:
