Cooper & Gorfer

Larsen Warner is thrilled to launch our exclusive inaugural editions with the acclaimed Swedish based artist duo Cooper & Gorfer.

Cooper& Gorfer comprises the artists Sarah Cooper (US, SE, 1974) and NinaGorfer (AT, 1979). Taken from their latest incredible series of works titled ‘Sirens’, the three editions are based on original collaged works that see the artists testing the boundaries between painting, collage and photography. The artists construct a mythological dynasty inspired by the transformative powers of immortal goddesses – a fictitious tribe of women, birthed from a library of female bodies. This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire editions by two of Sweden’s most acclaimed contemporary artists.

“We share a deeply rooted interest in the female story and how our experiences and socio-cultural background influence our sense of self. Our work strives to articulate the unapparent and the hidden desires we hold dear, paying tribute to the many layers of life and memories that shape us.” Cooper & Gorfer
