Both paintings which makeup this diptych came about while reading Greek mythology described as the 'Battle of the Gods'. The left section of the diptych is an abstract work created as part of a series between 2014-2017 based on the long tale of Jason in search of the golden fleece.The painting is after the fire in a forest with the dragon who was guarding the fleece. Jason kills the dragons and goes in search for the dragon's teeth in the embers. The right section of the diptych was created still in reference to 'the battle of the gods' while contemplating Paola Uccello's tempera pradella called "The Miracle of the Desecrated Host". painted between 1467 and 1469. It is a shocking work visually describing the brutal murders of a jewish family being burnt at the stake. both these paintings were created in an attempt to convey a depth and a physical presence.

LIVES IN LONDON UK WORK ABSTRACT MINIMALIST PAINTING About KJ Cook While attending art school in late 60’s and 70’s, a radical shift in contemporary art was taking place through the development of conceptual art. Cook explored and created video art, performance art, learnt skills in lithography, photography, film making and studied the history of independent film making. Traditional materials and skills were replaced by systems, graph drawings, cinematic- montage, notation, movement, sound, and spacial performance, installation and video performance. In 1974 Cook moved to the U.K. and trained in theatre design, drawn to new writing and the disposable nature of ideas over time and the final 3D results rarely given refuge after it's first public viewing. Cook worked extensively as a set and costume designer in theatre, ballet, opera and film, for nearly four decades, as well as working ten years in collaboration, experimenting in development of music/theatre. Throughout that time Cook has always maintained an independent art practise and studio in the U.K. with the emphasis on development of ideas and abstraction. Since the mid seventy's Cook's art work continued to develop using basic materials on paper, featuring automatic drawing and painting with no use of film or video technology or documentary tools. In the late eighties she began to paint monochromatic, minimalist work after a strenuous and persistent return to drawing, which continued into the late 1990's. Landscape of the body as well as nature of a disproportionate scale began to fuse and has continued to developed. Since 2010 Cook made a decision to gradually transition from stage design to painting without the cushion of script, scenario,libretto,dialogue, and has been painting full time since 2016.
