The Mothers In Me Will Meet You There: Paintings by Nicole Cooper is my first solo exhibition in New York. Presented at Anthroposophy NYC's Centerpoint Gallery, the show features figurative oil paintings that explore Active Hope in the face of our climate crisis. Through vibrant colors, energetic brushwork, and the human form, these works investigate the complex emotions surrounding climate change while creating pathways toward connection, understanding, and collective action.
In a moment when awareness of climate change is widespread yet action remains elusive, these paintings engage the human dimension that scientific data alone cannot reach, giving form to feelings through the body to honor anxiety, grief, love, and hope as valid responses.
The compositions weave together human figures and elemental landscapes—rippling water, flaming terrains, swirling air—breaking down barriers between bodies to reveal our profound interdependence across generations and with the natural world. Through this visual language, the paintings reveal our human, emotional core—flesh and blood interwoven with Earth—expressing a deep-rooted spiritual belonging that emanates from within. This is Active Hope: recognizing our agency and how our actions today ripple forward to shape tomorrow.
