Bermudian James Cooper is an artist who often explores the common in most unusual ways. This interest is historically connected to the movements of Surrealism and Dadaism, characterized by exaggeration, ambiguity, and wry humour imbedded with serious considerations and concepts, with the intention of disrupting the status quo. Cooper repositions objects and our relationship to them in order to alter our perceptions. His juxtapositions, which create aesthetic and provocative experiences, encourage a fresh perspective on what might be considered familiar. – See more at: http://bermudanationalgallery.com/events/view/108/2013-06-15#sthash.8O8dWMjP.dpuf
