We recently visited the studio of American artist Ethan Cook, (feature coming soon), who is preparing for his first solo show in France, opening this Saturday, 12 March, at Galerie Jeanroch Dard in Paris. Entitled "Felman", Cook works with textures and takes the idea of the canvas one step further, so that surface and showpiece are one and the same. Hand loomed canvases are color blocked and framed, while others are pigmented and dyed, with all entries capturing a sense of the movement that went into their making.

"Felman" runs until 16 February, 2013.
