Artist: Rita Cook
Rita Cook is a Dallas-based artist who creates art by using acrylic paint on mirror and glass, and to a lesser degree on canvas and paper. Her style offers a hint of Lyrical Abstraction meets Orphism using colors and expressions that echo infinite forms and reflections. It is a swirling combination of what one of her strong influence's Wassily Kandinsky (a pioneer of abstract modern art) offers as he said "the artist training not only her eye, but her soul." "As a writer for many years and now having the expression of art I have quickly realized art is the story I am writing without using words," Rita explains. "My ability to be a world citizen and now communicating in a language everyone speaks, this is a powerful universal code of images and colors that communicates directly to the subconscious mind." By using mirrors and glass in her art, Rita's symbolism takes the expression further as this median offers innumerable symbolic connotations for the audience to decipher while confronting the existence of their own reflection.

Self-Portrait at E Gallery Studios, 1110 Dragon Street, Dallas.
Opened September 1, 2022/Closed February 28, 2023
"Self-Portrait" is the reflection of the viewer looking into the mirror and looking back at himself and seeing exactly what she needs to be looking back - from an unconscious place. Self-Portrait, 2022 (Acrylic on mirror and glass) Painting on mirror, glass with a hint of Lyrical Abstraction meets Orphism is what artist Rita Cook's style forms using colors echoing infinite forms and reflections. A swirling combination of what one of her strong influence's Wassily Kandinsky might have said was "the artist training not only her eye, but her soul." As the words of Kandinsky expressed "an object can only legitimately be considered art if it is an unadulterated, outward manifestation of the artist's psyche-of his or her authentic thoughts and feelings." A truth of Cook's painting on mirror and glass in her Self-Portrait series.

I don't have any children, but this year I have ended up birthing 90+ of these little things that I call my children. Piling up around me having been birthed with acrylics, mirror, canvas, watercolor paper, and frames. And the colors of my children astound me. So much so that I often fret and wonder why there aren't more colors to choose from in this infinite world of space and time. The dance of my art began as a writer (a small child with a big imagination) and a traveler (dreams become reality) traveling everywhere around the world - 25 years of it. I found myself with a variety of travel companions, but it was me and the French aristocrat who I found the most trouble with over the years. All these moments I saw with my eyes storing the memories inside like stars both esoteric and sometimes not so esoteric… and then earlier this year… … the stars began flowing. These stars that had been storing up inside me began flowing like midnight raining colorful sprinkles down. The ideas for these paintings came out on glass, and mirror and canvas and paper and wood mesmerizing me with the dual movement of me and the creation. It was as if a tantra of energy was flowing solo. And it was! That was 2022 and the beat goes on...
