Artwork by Theron Cook - Ponder Over Java

I had the pleasure of meeting Theron Cook about seven years ago. He is a very talented artist to say the least. He is the owner of Mute magazine, a graphic designer, photographer; his work consists of murals, logos, painting on canvas and the human body, sneakers, women’s shoes, clothing, cellphone cases, mugs, purses, and so much more.

I would like to introduce to you some of his artwork. The descriptions to certain pieces were written by Theron. I hope you enjoy my selections.

“Crucifixion” is a modern day instrument of capital punishment: the ancient method of slow and painful execution still lives today through #technology ! This painting is a twist on the iconic Christ crucifixion that depicts #christ as a #robot symbolizing the material world . The #heart and mind of the robot is exposed representing love and peace. The figures at the bottom is humanity trying to plug the robot back into the earth for connection and relationships… The impact of technology on our social, mental, physical and environmental health can be devastating if we don’t keep ourselves in check. There’s no denying the benefits we have gained from technological advancements, but as with all things in life moderation is key. Being aware of the harmful aspects of the overuse of electronics will help you avoid any unnecessary pitfalls.

“The Corner Pocket” The work of art is a corner of the universe, seen through the prism of a certain temperament. If you hide the truth, and bury it underground it will grow. So I walk underground and survive because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me!… #cantknockthehustle Don’t Quit!… #theroncookart #painting #butterflyeffect #surrealart #contemporaryart #streetart #artcollector #artlife #artgallery #artlover #dontquit — at Tribeca Rooftop.
