Daren Cook 'Butt is it art?, 2022'
Art is subjective. One person’s masterpiece is another’s junk.
This work questions what constitutes a work of art and invites discussion about itself.
The piece may be questioning it’s own worth, or it may be having a cheeky dig at the merit of any art it’s in the company of.
Limited edition mixed media on Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag. Signed and stamped with NFT certificate of authenticity. Edition of 8. Each piece is hand painted.
Framed in white museum standard frame.
Born in England in 1969, a first class graduate of the world renowned Central Saint Martins School of art, Daren has spent much of his career working as a creative director for several global branding agencies. He was responsible for, amongst other things, the design of the iconic Orange telecommunications logo, and still works with high-profile clients around the world.
His sharp branding instinct and graphic sensibilities are reflected in his simple, bold and occasionally provocative work, which playfully explores the role of artists, collectors and a sometimes sceptical public in the current art market. Branding is about providing answers.
Daren’s art asks questions instead.
