elI COOPER

A burgeoning creative, Cooper is one of the newest and youngest artists in the Creative Growth Studio. With great enthusiasm and clever perspective, he brought a love of rock and roll, performance experience, and a deeply personal collage practice to the Residency.

Cooper’s collage practice began on the walls of his bedroom in 2015 with images of heavy metal bands, and slowly grew to cover the entire room (windows included if his family permitted). The content of his collages have evolved to include family members and friends, favored moments in the zeitgeist, celebrities, politicians, and items that Cooper covets.
