The The J.A.W. Cooper Genesis Collection compiles more than 230 works in a variety of mediums that fill this collection of art from the unique mind of J.A.W. Cooper. This book leads us on a journey into the violent, steaming innards of making art-raw, spontaneous and unfettered. Drawing on themes of the occult, the artist explores animals as allegories for the human condition-a physical projection of that which is clandestine. Cooper explores instinct and intuition as the spark of artistic creation, to delight the feral child at our core.

Pastoral is a romp through subject matter that makes Cooper supremely happy. Expect humor, expect sensuality, expect chickens, expect all three in one image. If that sounds like a damn good time to you we think you will get along famously with Cooper. Pastoral is filled with their energetic, expressive pencil and ink drawings of wildlife and their stewards. Gouache works from Cooper's travels and gallery paintings also appear.
