About the 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 Duct Tape for his use of their product in his flower bombing. He often paints to music, once on public display at the Fitzgerald Theater in Minneapolis and has a series of paintings based on music.
