Richard Cook - 'Paintings are Dreams and Reflections' | TateShots

Richard Cook’s paintings emerge from drawings and sketches he makes while out walking along the Cornish coastline near his home in Newlyn.
In this film he takes us through his process and shows us how closely he lives with works in progress, returning to them over and over again until he is satisfied.

I think these Tate shots are real gems.

[@MsGnor]

Totally

[@nicolawillis2325]

Me too ❤️

[@matyasfiala5699]

hell yeah

[@allenscottrogers5106]

Even if I am not the greatest admirers of the work, interviews like these provide so much knowledge and wisdom to learn from. I truly cannot get enough.

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

😌🙏 I so relate to that feeling when a painting is completed and your mind is at peace for a moment because you've gotten it all out on the canvas. Then, life continues and the next painting begins building and building until it, too, must be expelled and laid out onto a surface.

[@peterspens4341]

This is a beautiful short film showing Richard working intimately with the Cornish coast through observation and memory. Remarkable poetic work.

[@GLENHARTSHAMAN]

The Sublime Studio Practice, truly magnificent, you touch the stones and they touch you.

[@jamesjoelholmes4541]

Left me in tears. Richard Cook, your art speaks to me. Thank you Tate!

[@bethneal6201]

So inspiring me. I can do it.

[@kernowarty]

I loved Partou zia's work. Such a sad loss to the art world and the world in general.

[@freelancechannel533]

Memoriess

[@abstractbybrian]

One can find themselves exhaling a lot around paintings like those. Make sure I get this correct, he finger paints everything?

[@kernowarty]

Don't forget to inhale too.

[@jenwombatexcelsior]

If it's oils, don't inhale too much unless in a well-ventilated area. 😅

[@karenspooner1492]

Are there any other documentary’s like this , painters ?

im called tate hey

[@BERTTTification]

Shit what happened to his pinky

[@celestialteapot3310]

Are you sure this hasn't got a lot to do with social privilege?

[@clva8691]

I dont get it. It looks like something that an artist wipes his/her brushes on.

[@a.b.h.i.j.i.t.h]

So are dreams and memories!

[@om-nj2hw]

Study art a bit more to" open " your eyes.

[@beachlife2968]

Rubbish paintings. He is a perfect example of using bs to pretend they have great meaning.

[@jdmosaics]

beach life you miss the whole point....they do have meaning....to him....it’s not about anything else.

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

You fail to understand art and artists. Your loss.

[@beachlife2968]

@@heraldeventsandfilms5970 I am an artist and I've shown this to a few artists and they all agree this is terrible art and on par with Tracey Emin's pretentious work . Weak composition, no contrast in values, zero colour harmony, chalky etc etc. It's all rubbish but if he can convince rich people to hand over their money good for him

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

@@beachlife2968 Amateur or pro artist? Working or playing?

[@beachlife2968]

@@heraldeventsandfilms5970 I am a full time artist. Trust me bs is used in this industry to make the buyer think they haver got something very unique and special. The buyer is usually rich so money isn't the issue, they want it to have meaning. So what do you do Herald?

[@willwest-rob743]

His work is bland

[@danieljenny3061]

What a waste of time

[@neilcollinsartist]

How can someone doing what they enjoy ever be a "waste of time"?

[@JohnSmith-bw6pv]

because hes a loony and sucks..

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

You are an idiot. People like you don't matter.

[@MontyCantsin5]

Clearly not, but ok.

this artist will not last in history
