Chloe Cooke-Warren shares the evolution of her colorful, character-driven crowd scenes and cityscapes from a childhood of drawing strange and fantastic creatures. We’re happy to showcase her unique oil paintings here!
I’m a New York based artist, which is good because I love cityscapes and crowd scenes. There’s so much diverse subject matter in New York and I’m really inspired to paint all the interesting and bizarre people that I see every day.
I haven’t always been inspired by city scenes. When I was a kid I made up strange creatures and characters. These drawings are pretty early so its hard to remember how they came about, but I’m pretty sure the unicorns and witches were in the cartoons I used to watch. My style became more refined as I got older and went through a more classical training at art school, but the weird aspect never really went away.
