— Pippin Contemporary welcomes acrylic abstract painter Cody Hooper to their roster of contemporary artists. Hooper’s works are vibrantly energetic depictions of what the artist sees in nature, and are his means of tapping into deep emotion. Hooper is a perfect fit for the gallery, whose motto is, “a sensory experience of color and mood,“ because his work brings the viewer to a place of energy, rooted in emotion, and translated by rich color.
Hooper grew up in North Texas and now splits his time between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, NM. His immersion into art, music and the natural beauty of the Southwest at a young age sparked his passion for fine art. As a young adult, Hooper studied under Southwest watercolorist, Barbara Hues. This experience gave him a strong foundation and his primary focus was realistic watercolors.
After many years working in watercolor, Hooper began experimenting with abstracts in various mediums. This exploration taught him the freedom of personal expression through art. Hooper became deeply interested in the effects of color and texture on a composition and how they blend to evoke an emotional response. He found that acrylics were the ideal medium for his newfound, evocative style. Today, Hooper’s work is featured in both public and private collections worldwide and Pippin Contemporary is honored to represent Hooper and his vibrant work.
