Born in Manchester, UK in 1973. Cooke received a doctorate from Goldsmiths College (London) in 2004. Rooted in an interest in a wide range of disciplines, including mythology, philosophy, neuroscience and biology, he forms organic images that move back and forth between figuration and abstraction. With their fluid strokes, the images appear as a synthesis of his wide-ranging thought. In 2026 the Fondazione Querini Stampalia (Venice) presented a solo exhibition of his work.
