Eileen Cooper RA, A Lion in the Room, 2023 (framed)

£1,625.00

Ink, pastel and watercolour, 29.5 x 21cm

Eileen Cooper is a painter and printmaker with a strong commitment to figuration. Sometimes described as a magic realist, she brings an unapologetically female perspective to her subject-matter, which encompasses sexuality, motherhood, life and death.

This framed mixed media drawing is part of a previously unseen body of work titled ‘Lyrical’, made in response to a group of poems by writer Denise Riley. Animals including tigers, deer and in this case, a lion, often find their way into the artist’s work, giving them a sense of the fantastical.

Please note that if purchased this work will not be available until 31 May.
