静謐な色面から浮かび上がる日常のなにげないオブジェ。
その一つ一つが凛とした存在感を放つ。
描写は写実を極め、ボタニックアートのようだ。

D’un espace coloré où règne la quiétude, des objets de la vie quotidienne se détachent. Chaque objet a une présence lumineuse. Leur description se distingue par un réalisme remarquable, rappelant l’art botanique.

図案の配置は、それぞれのオブジェが奏でる詩に耳を傾けながら、4~5週間かけて決定される
レイはその作業をシンフォニーの作曲になぞらえる。

モチーフとなるのは、ごく身近な品じな
モノへの視線は愛情に満ち、レイの優しい人柄が伝わってくる。


Leigh Cooke est un artiste anglais. Depuis 2001, il collabore avec la maison en tant que dessinateur de carrés. Son style classique et élégant attire beaucoup de fans.

L’agencement de motifs lui demande quatre ou cinq semaines de réflexion. Pendant ce processus, Leigh écoute de toutes ses oreilles les poésies émises par chaque objet, en s’assimilant ainsi au compositeur de la symphonie.

Ses motifs sont toujours des objets de la vie quotidienne. Son regard porté sur eux est tendre et il traduit la douce personnalité de Leigh.

  4. So happy to have found that a Brit has contributed to Hermes !
    I've always liked Leigh Cooke's designs , A walk in the Park being the one I've thought of buying. I so love leaves , since as a child in the Autumn I would spend days collecting them, then identifying and drawing them.
    But it took you Iris, to point out the nostalgic charms of In the Pocket , because before I didn't 'get' it. I do like the way he distributes his material across the carre : and your linking him with Mondrian was really interesting.

    Thank you again for your warm comment! What a beautiful childhood memories and you were little lovely curious girl! I love so much the spring and fall of England. I have been impressed by how each garden was beautiful with so many colorful flowers and leaves… You, British people has a real talent for the gardening!
