Omschrijving
by Dave Cooper A collection of luscious oil paintings in tribute to pillowy female forms. Subtitled ''Additional Observations on the Beauty/Ugliness of Mostly Pillowy Girls,'' Underbelly is a hardcover art book featuring over 50 of Cooper's luminescent oil paintings and lush drawings, each focusing on the female form. Underbelly is the follow-up to Cooper's acclaimed first book of paintings, Overbite. Since then, Cooper has been producing new work at a fevered pitch for gallery shows and patrons alike. Although much of the work in Underbelly appears to have slithered out of a similar same place as Overbite, this latest batch has a decidedly darker and more urban flavor.
