Paul Cooley(American, b. 1989)

Paul Cooley is a fine artist from Queens, NY. After battling drug addiction, homelessness, and a seemingly endless struggle to fill a spiritual void, Cooley has now found purpose in creating every day. In an effort to express the need for simplicity in a complex results-driven society, Paul incorporates poetry and simple metaphors into his work.

Cooley delineates his perception of life through his use of textured layers and prowess in color theory. His use of original poetry and metaphor consistently challenges his viewers with reflection and contemplation.

Cooley's work has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions, including at Art Basel, Miami.
