Cooper

Born and raised in Evansville, Indiana, Andrew Cooper, better known simply as Cooper, is an American Contemporary artist who reimagines scenes of domesticity and infuses them with an irrepressible sense of fun. Passionate about art from a young age, at just seven years old he wrote a message in his diary that would prove to be prophetic. It read: “I want to be an artist when I grow up.”

After art school, Cooper moved to Miami when recruited by a record label. Determined to pursue a career in art, he relocated to Los Angeles, where his wildflower murals splashed on the side of buildings caught the eye of brands including Coach NY, Adidas and Vans, leading to a series of high-profile collaborations. In 2019, he decided to return to his roots and moved back to Indiana to establish a studio where he could be completely free to create.

Cooper belongs to a new generation of painters elevating domestic life to high art. From vintage record players and speakers to the plants filling his studio, his subjects reflect both cherished memories and aspirations for the future.

Cooper made his Maddox debut in 2022 with the sell-out show ‘Wild Noise’ at Maddox Gallery Westbourne Grove. His second solo show, ‘Wild Life’, opened at Maddox Gallery Gstaad in July 2023. In spring 2024, Cooper completed an Artist Residency at Maddox Shepherd Gallery, where he developed an exclusive new body of work for his third exhibition, ‘A Closer Look’. His latest body of work, ‘Velvet Collection’, on display from 22nd May 2025, marks his fourth collaboration with Maddox.
