COOP's first solo show in three years opens this Friday, May 29, at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City, California. The exhibition features an original soundtrack composed by Mark Mothersbaugh! Pegged on the exhibition, Juxtapoz posted the first in a two-part interview with COOP. From Juxtapoz:

What can we expect from your new show?

A progression in what I have been doing since 2004, large-scale Pop Art. I'm a lot more interested in texture and color these days, as a result the paintings are becoming less purely figurative and representational, and moving towards abstraction. I'm also incorporating techniques and materials that I haven't used previously, like stencils and spray paint, along with hand-painted replication of mechanical printing techniques like halftones.
