James Cooper is a multi-media artist who studied landscape architecture at the University of British Columbia. His work was first recognized by the curator Tim Barber and featured on his influential website Tiny Vices. Using his personal environment, Cooper makes art in a local language empowered by universal references while providing a meditative counterweight to that chaos. Beyond the many exhibitions in Bermuda, such as the Bermuda Biennial, Cooper has exhibited widely: the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, Toronto; the New York Photo Festival; the Ghetto Biennale, Haiti; the National Art Gallery and Popop Studios, Bahamas; the Jamaica Biennial; the Fondation Clément, Martinique; and Alice Yard, Trinidad. Cooper’s artwork can be found in the permanent collection of the Bermuda National Gallery.
