Warren Cooke is a contemporary printmaking artist based on the Mornington Peninsula. His vibrant prints reflect on the flora and fauna he encounters seafaring along the Mornington coastline. In recent years, his printmaking practice has incorporated the reduction woodcut technique. This technique is visible across the surfaces of his prints, in some cases revealing the texture of the wood in the final print.

Cooke’s 2019 reduction woodcut “Land and sea #37,” features a serene seascape taken from the Mornington Peninsula. This print is characteristic of Cooke’s vibrant style, picturing a landmass between sea and sky. This contemplative scene resembles a snapshot of a sunset, where the sky is caught between changes in colour. This compelling scene is bright and full of energy, capturing Cooke’s love of the Mornington coastline.

Cooke is an acclaimed printmaker, featuring in several Australian and international collections. Some notable career highlights include a solo exhibition at Benalla Regional Art Gallery and being recognised as a finalist in the Fremantle Print Prize, Burnie Print Prize and Silk Cut Awards.

For any collector of Australian landscapes, Cooke’s “Land and sea #37” is an exquisite find.
