Twelve Mysteries detail

Twelve Mysteries’
Acrylics by Michael Cook
From 1st February to 3rd April 2010

The ‘mysteries’ are some of the nameless characters who appear in the  gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and form an appropriate stimulus for thought at Lent and Easter. For example, the young woman who is brought to Jesus accused of adultery.

Michael was born and spent most of his life in Melbourne, where the surrounding landscape became a constant source of visual stimulation. He now lives in Derby, where he trained and worked as a graphic designer before becoming a full time artist. He says of his work, ‘As well as being influenced by twentieth century art movements like cubism and fauvism, older mediums used to create devotional art find their way into my images; the strong lines and colours of stained glass, the stylised, melancholy figures and faces in icons, and the richness of tapestry and illuminated manuscripts.’
