SHORT BIOG.
Eileen Cooper RA is one of those artists whose distinctive style stays with you long after you have left the exhibition. For there she goes, from the canvas and into my mind, the lady who meets everyday without her clothes, neither too skinny nor too fat, appearing in episodes of her life, relaxing, sketching, dreaming, putting on make-up, making love ... we see a life unfolding completely without restraint.
The artist of the woman without her clothes is without doubt one of the most compelling in recent British Art history.
Eileen Cooper lives and works in London.
A student at Goldsmiths College and the Royal College of Art, Eileen Cooper RA became well known in the 1980s for her strong and passionate figuration. Her unapologetically female approach to her subject-matter encompasses sexuality, motherhood, life and death.
She was elected a Royal Academician in 2001 and served as Keeper of the Royal Academy between 2010 and 2017, the first woman in the institution’s history to do so.
