When you think of a painting, the first thing that comes to mind is the image created, the layers of paint upon the surface, the brushstrokes that form the story—but what about the actual canvas itself? Artist Ethan Cook creates ‘paintings’ that are actually a celebration of raw canvas; by painstakingly creating his own swatches of canvas on a loom, and through his deconstructed art pieces, he seeks to investigate and explore the physical elements that come together to make a painting.
