The Errant Æsthete

Out of boingboing, the latest work by long-time Ottawa artist Dave Cooper, who in a former life was a well-known alternative cartoonist. The work (which was being previewed at a local gallery before it heads to a show of its own in L.A. early next year) is called The Underbrush Octych and features Dave’s luscious-slash-lascivious ladies in, “full bloom.”

The interesting thing here was the construction of the work, which is 18 feet long and made up of eight individual paintings. They’re hung on a custom-made track which allows the painting to be rearranged left to right and right to left, ad infinitum in a kind of loop, without the overall image losing it’s flow.
