Q&A: Jonathan Cooper
30 May 2024
Looking for the very best in contemporary art? As are we, which is why The Treasure House Fair is delighted to be joined by Jonathon Cooper this summer.
A homegrown gallery highlighting works from Chinese, Australian, American, Italian and UK artists, Jonathan's recommendation to first-time visitors to the Fair is to "plan in enough time to really look at the quality of the exhibitions and talk to dealers". And don't forget to peruse a few of his highlight pieces while you're there, including Heat Line & Haze by Tim Storrier and Amur Tiger by Gary Stinton.
Why have you chosen to participate in The Treasure House Fair this year?
We were approached by The Treasure House Fair after the cancellation of Masterpiece where we exhibited. It is the standard of the Fair and its exhibitors which attracted us, and is the natural follow up fair after Masterpiece. We believe it is highly important to have a fair of this calibre in London.
What are you most looking forward to exhibiting during the event?
We will show - for the first time - the major contemporary Australian artist Tim Storrier (b.1949). He used to be shown with Fisher Fine Art in London and his works haven’t been seen in the UK since 1989.
What advice would you give to people visiting the Fair for the first time?
Make sure you have enough time to really look at the quality of the exhibitions, and talk to the dealers. They would be only too pleased to share their knowledge.
What are a few highlight works you’re bringing to the Fair?
Tim Storrier, Heat Line & Haze, 2022, Acrylic on canvas, 42.13 x 96 ins (107 x 244cm); Gary Stinton, Amur Tiger - Close Encounter III, Pastel on museum board, 40 x 36ins (101.5 × 91.5 cm); Tim Hayward, Suspended - Blue, 2023,Watercolour & gouache on Saunders Waterford 300 gsm paper , 60 x 40 ins (152.4 x 101.6cm).
