David Wayne Cook is an American painter, sculptor and installation artist working primarily with found objects.
[1] Cook works primarily with found objects - tar, litter, rebar, cement, scrap metal and wire, light fixtures, plaster, shredded tires, mufflers, vines - and occasionally vegetation.
In 1998 David became the featured artist at “Around the Coyote”, a well-known art festival/competition in Chicago.
[11] He plants the flowers in places where they will bring unexpected joy to passersby, including hospitals and nursing homes.
Cook's art can be seen in a Minneapolis restaurant called Hell's Kitchen and Rosenthal Contemporary Interiors.
