Pencil, gouache and watercolour on paper, 27.5 × 37cm
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. Drawing from life is at the core of Eileen’s practice, but fantastical elements - such as tigers in the studio – often find their way into her work.
The sea has been a symbolic motif running through Eileen’s imagery and recent works explore the beach as a place to rest and play. This framed work on paper includes one of Eileen’s favourite animals who watches over his companion as she sleeps.
