Nico Antuna Cooper is a multimedia artist native to the El Paso borderland. His mixed-media, mixed-genre approach incorporates influences ranging from the New York School of Abstract Expressionism to Catholic iconography and techno rave posters. A digital Renaissance Man, his ouvre includes large scale canvases, electronic music productions, Spanish guitar performances, and poetry. His work focuses on cross-genre identity and the removal of borders in artistic practices. It is shaped by his mixed-race heritage, incorporating influences from Anglo-American, Mexican, and Spanish art movements. His themes include the complexity of masculinity in a modern era, as well as the increasingly blurred lines of race and culture. His hybrid art is a direct response to an increasingly sectarian and divisive cultural environment focused on tribalism, purity, and non-appropriation of ideas. As a merchant and educator, his approach encourages the free flow of cultural concepts, like wine into a glass.
He received his Master of Fine Arts from the bilingual Creative Writing Program at The University of Texas at El Paso and his undergraduate degree in International Studies and Spanish from the University of New Mexico. In addition to art, he is a a professor, real estate agent, and wine specialist. |
