Don’t Fill my Head with your Subversive Nonsense – Marcus Cope

Cope’s work liberates itself from all easy categorization, presenting himself and us with problems not to solve but to question. Again and again. The image-maker simultaneously as iconoclast: not dilettante eclecticism, but a sardonic joy and (at one and the same time) delighted cynicism at the limitless (im)possibilities of painting. Each painting thwarts its own outcome (what, Cope might ask, is the point of painting when the result is a foregone conclusion?) Within each canvas there are points at which, the result already apparent, he (clearly) takes off at once down some non-signposted path. This is it.
