Cooklin is invited to join the Saatchi Gallery web space -
An
Introduction to The Saatchi Gallery |
|
The Saatchi Gallery has always aimed to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art.
The audience for exhibitions of contemporary art has increased widely during the last ten years as general awareness and interest in contemporary art has developed in Britain.
When The Saatchi Gallery first opened twenty years ago it was only those people who had a dedicated interest in contemporary art who sought out the gallery to see work by new artists. The audience, however, built steadily over the years and the gallery now receives over 600,000 visitors a year, and over 1,000 schools have organised student visits.
The Saatchi Gallery has worked with media sponsors on a number of shows including The Observer, The Sunday Times, Evening Standard, The Independent on Sunday and Time Out.
Many artists showing at The Saatchi Gallery are unknown when first exhibited, not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world. Many of these artists are subsequently offered shows by galleries and museums internationally. In this effect, the gallery also operates as a springboard for young artists to launch their careers. |
"Very happy to see your work on the gallery site. I am thrilled that the standard is so high from such a variety of artists and hope it will be interesting to gallery owners, exhibition curators and collectors to see such diverse work."
All my best,
Charles Saatchi
"We at the Saatchi Gallery are pleased to showcase your talented work. Your digital art is quite stunning we're thrilled to feature you and your work on our site."
Regards,
Rebecca Kelley

This particular set of images has a beautiful glow and grain to it that
makes each image look really soft. How did you get this effect?
The grain is due to a few factors – the film and it’s speed and also the developing chemistry and process. I also used a lower FStop to give a shorter depth of field. The film I used for these particular shots was Fomapan 400, developed in ID-11. I like the film but it’s tricky to scan as it curls so Im now using Ilford Delta and Rodinal Special which I find a great combination.
When you take a photo, how does it make you feel?
I feel excited at the anticipation of the finished image. As I mainly shoot film and not digital, I don’t know “exactly” how the image is going to turn out until after it’s been developed. I feel excited at the prospect of capturing my interpretation of the subject, and the creative process of developing the film which can give its own unique twist to the mix.
Photography is often described as "capturing a moment in time", or
"immortalising" something. How do you feel about these sayings and how do
they apply to your works?
I would agree that a photograph does capture a moment, but it captures a subjective view of that moment which has been created or manipulated by the photographer. It’s their interpretation of “that moment”.

Frames 4 Corners & Cooklin - Picture Business Editorial April 2007 |
FRAMES 4 CORNERS commissioned digital artist Paul Cooklin to create pieces suitable for its frames, the limited edition prints have a kaleidoscopic effect when presented in a 90-degree angle. Director Brendan Donohue said, “One evening I was watching TV and thought the corner wall in our living room looked blank. I designed the corner frame without knowing how I was going to produce it. It has taken four years to get here.”

East Magazine Editorial |
"...My initial design influences and aspirations were from a guy called Nathan Flood, a digital artist living in New York. He helped create a book called “Geometry and Chaos”. Nathan was also one of the featured artists in the first stock image magazine I saw which inspired me to become a digital artist. His approach to art really got me ticking, the randomness and sense of belonging all rolled in to a single image - something chaotic and yet balanced and ordered. Allowing your mind to create its own picture is one of the reasons why abstract art is so appealing because it allows the viewer to explore their own creativity..." |
