NATAN COOPER b.1963, Israel.
From an early age, he became interested in design and painting. He began refining his craft while working at some of the most prominent graphic design studios in Tel Aviv and concentrating on painting urban life images and its inhabitants.
He completed his formal art studies in 1982 from the American Institute of Art, studied with the Master painter Isaac Holtz. Natan traveled and studied in America and Australia. While living in Australia, he opened an art gallery and a studio. During that time, his personal art was abstract, while at the same time creating designs for television shows in Melbourne.
Natan’s creative process begins with a classic realistic painting. After years of drawing (from childhood), he miraculously found himself drawing perfect hyper-realistic characters with no advances and learning phases, at a peak point of achievement (in his opinion) of technique and polish. The question arose where he was with all the impressive perfect images. After years of distorting and stripping the realistic style – Natan left with a simple line with no details or descriptions, a clean line attuned to inner feelings of hidden desire (a line of hope, he says).
He brings together characters drawn in simple lines that leave hollow figures floating above a backdrop to this movie called Life. As disenfranchised from the background, the character seeks freedom from the pendulum of senses, nature, a meeting of two states of consciousness. The background is as projected from the thought (as you can say – what man thinks that is where he’s at) instead of line figures that reflect real hidden desire.
Natan has experimented with great success in various visual arts areas such as product design, graphics, stage setting, stage studios, book illustrations and scrolls, classic painting hyper-realism, Judaica, and more. Contemporary art is the most authentic tool in which he expresses his point of view of the world.
Currently, Natan is exhibiting his artwork at Ayelet Booker Gallery in Tel Aviv, George 5 Gallery in Jerusalem, Judaica art exchange Gallery in Miami, Florida, A&E fine art gallery, and The Bo Gallery in Lakewood, NJ.
In 2019 Natan Cooper was selected to be included in the exciting GOLD LIST – “Top Contemporary Artist of Today!” Special Edition by the International Art Market Magazine.
