Monica Cooks’ paintings describe a stark, sometimes disturbing,
objectivity of the figure, by heightening various textures on the body,
the translucency of the flesh, how the veins surface and receed. Her
paintings allude to stories exposed by history trapped inside the
skin. Exaggeration of these details enhances the mortal presence of
the subject and their psychological complexity, objectifying the
condition of raw.
