Closing Reception + Artist Talk: Dustin Cook on “Contours”

February 1 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join Dustin Cook for his Closing Reception with an in-person conversation and Artist Talk about “Contours.” on the last day of his exhibit.

Join featured artist, Dustin Cook for his Closing Reception with an in-person conversation and Artist Talk about “Contours.”

Dustin Cook (b.1995) is an artist living and working in Detroit, Michigan. As an abstract artist, his work is a vibrant exploration of color, energy, and the interplay between form and atmosphere.

“My artistic process is driven by a playful and intuitive approach. Using bold, clean lines and geometric precision, I create compositions that dance with rhythmic vitality, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of dynamic abstraction.”

The shaped canvases in his solo exhibition, “Contours” redefine the traditional canvas, creating abstract pieces that are as much about the physical form as they are about the interplay of color and texture. Dustin Cook’s abstract paintings invite the viewer to find their own meaning within the interplay of color and form.

“Color plays a pivotal role in my work, acting as a conduit for expressing the rich and varied emotional qualities found in nature and the urban environment. I employ a vibrant palette that harmonizes contrasting hues, creating a sense of harmony and tension within the canvas. By harnessing the power of color, I aim to evoke the essence of different atmospheres, whether it be the tranquil serenity of a flowing river or the pulsating energy of a bustling cityscape.”

His art aims to evoke a sense of joy, wonder, and contemplation. I strive to create visual experiences that invite viewers into a realm where color, energy, and form coalesce, transcending the boundaries of the tangible world. Through the language of abstraction, he seeks to capture the dynamism of our surroundings, drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature, the boldness of architectural forms, and the pulsating energy of urban life.

This is the last day to view the exhibition in-person.
