Dave Cooper

A self-taught comic artist and painter, Dave Cooper is a key figure in the surrealist POP movement and the underground comics scene. His inimitable graphic style plays with shapes, textures, and colors, creating phantasmagorical scenes that border on a pictorial trance. Wild, unrestrained, and psychedelic, his work shocks the mind and leaves a lasting impression.

Acclaimed by his peers, Dave Cooper is particularly sought after on the international scene, with his work collected by numerous artists, including Guillermo del Toro. 

Gouache, oil and acrylic paintings are highly durable. However, a few precautions should be taken to ensure that they will keep for a long time. We recommend that you avoid exposing them to direct light, in order to reduce their exposure to UV rays. Particular attention should be paid to their support in order to protect them from humidity; canvas and wooden supports are particularly sensitive to this element. We recommend that you avoid any sudden changes in temperature or humidity, which could lead to tension or loosening of the canvas, requiring the intervention of a framer.

Dave Cooper (born in 1967, Shelburne, Canada) is a Canadian comic artist and painter, and a leading figure in the Surrealist Pop movement and the underground comics scene. A self-taught artist influenced by the work of Robert Crumb and Chester Brown, Dave Cooper began his career in the 1990s by creating underground comics for Fantagraphics Books in Seattle. In 1999, he published the first issue of his series Weasel, which won both the Ignatz Award and the Harvey Award in 2000. Each issue of this series consists of short chapters featuring eclectic projects. Encyclopedia Nonsensica appears alongside the vaudevillian episodes of Eddy Table and the much more realistic ones of Ripple: A Predilection for Tina. This latter project, reissued as an album by Fantagraphics, brought him widespread recognition.  Complete biography.
