Cooks Gathering
2021 - 2023
oil on canvas
unframed
152 x 122 cm
The artist has elaborated on the figure of the cook throughout his career. He appropriated the cook from a number of sources in historical art. In costume they make reference to Egyptian sculpture and appropriate the pharaoh's hat seen on many figures, particularly Cleopatra. The tall cylindrical hat is also a reference to the white hat seen in Piero della Francesca and the long hat of the puncinello made famous by Tiepelo in Venice. For the artist, the cook is the hero of our age and a co-conspirator. Gauguin appropriated the costume of the fisherman for the artist to wear and William Balthazar Rose has personally appropriated the cook's uniform which he often wears while working. He maintains “Artists feed the world so they should be dressed appropriately like their comrades the Cooks, who also feed the world”.This particular painting suggests a plot; cooks gather, cooks discuss, they mutter and conspire, perhaps planning the next feast.
