Cougar: Memories in 72dpi

At first glance, Cougar’s works appear like pixelated low-resolution images, but at their core, they pose questions about the true value of ‘looking’ itself. In the aftermath of their first solo exhibition, that questioning has probed even deeper. Cougar’s canvases change their appearance when seen at different distances, and through observation , such as by approaching and moving away from the paintings, the viewer’s memories begin to supplement and reconstitute themselves, leading to the emergence of graphical figures. To look is to imagine. The ‘cute’ and ‘nostalgic’ qualities of these works will surely speak to your memories as well.
