"COOPER’S works are meditations upon the ways in which we organize and travel through the urban environment.  They encourage us to treat the road as a kind of sculpted object that we can turn over in our hands in order to understand its particular language of expression and to contemplate the ‘patterns’ of human behavior that it generates. His paintings, despite the geometry and solidity of the shapes within them, are always renditions of objects in dissolution. This dissolution locates the viewer in many places at once, from the road’s surface, to an aerial viewpoint, to the distillation of a map…"
