About: David Cook (artist)

David Wayne Cook is an American painter, sculptor and installation artist working primarily with found objects. He has also coauthored a book, Lemonade for the Lawnboy, that later became a play. Cook works primarily with found objects - tar, litter, rebar, cement, scrap metal and wire, light fixtures, plaster, shredded tires, mufflers, vines - and occasionally vegetation. He has a warm relationship with Duck Tape because of his use of their product in his flower bombing. He often paints to music, once on public display, and has a series of paintings based on music.
