Sunflower by Daisy Cook
Daisy Cook is a British painter whose contemplative works explore the relationship between landscape, memory, and material. In Sunflower, painted on the cover of a found book, Cook fuses her interest in abstraction with a grounded, tactile sensibility—bringing new life and intimacy to a small-scale surface.
Cook’s paintings often centre on the meeting points of land, sea, and sky, interpreted through subtle shifts in texture, light, and colour. Her practice embraces methods such as dragging, dripping, and pouring oil paint, often rich in earth pigments, creating surfaces that are layered, atmospheric, and evocative.
Whether exploring landscapes or interiors, her compositions are not descriptive but experiential—balancing clarity with ambiguity, and structure with spontaneity. For Cook, painting is an intuitive process, slowly unfolding over time, shaped as much by lived experience as by visual memory.
