ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Pineapples have long been the symbol of hospitality, and giving or receiving of hospitality feels golden to me. This work is my expression of that joyous feeling. What also drew me to the pineapple's form are the underlying mathematical principles that make it so beautiful. Pineapples are rich in examples of the relationship between the Fibonacci Series and nature--a deep perfection within their design. I started making three-dimensional sculptural paintings of pineapples in 2006 with the intention of bringing some of the underlying mathematical principles to the forefront of the pineapples' appearance. I didn't want to just mimic a true pineapple; I wanted make it even more amazing--to be shockingly beautiful. After ten years of making three-dimensional pineapples, I decided to convert this slightly abstracted pineapple design to works on paper. "Hospitality is Golden" is an embodiment of my goals to make the pineapple even more fantastic combined with words filled with my feelings of hospitable joy. Let this work fill your environment with a sense fantastic hospitality.

Drew Cooke
United States
Drew Cooke is a New Orleans artist working in conceptual and representative formats, mainly focusing on interactions between cities and nature, within groups of people, and between his existence and the objects connected to it. His conceptual work, photo collages, and sculptural paintings have been shown at galleries in New York City, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City. Major artistic influences include Robert Rauschenberg, Tim Hawkinson, Walter Anderson and El Anatsui. Degrees in mathematics and English also contribute to the aesthetics and narratives of his works. In 2015, he abandoned 8 years in mathematical analysis and software development to fully return to artistic pursuits. He is currently working on a series of "art proofs" attempting to logically examine assumptions on gun control and economics, and continuing the Repackaged series examining garbage as personal and social history.
