Will Cooke (b. 1989) is a Sydney based artist who uses abstraction and humour to understand memory and the way in which it develops nostalgia. He finished a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons) at Sydney College of the Arts in 2011.

Cooke explores his own personal mythologies and memories, and through minimal abstraction attempts to make these internal thoughts and experiences, external. He makes paintings as a form of self inflicted visual therapy, transforming his personal experiences into a physical object, each geometric form representing a different memory.

The results are illusion based abstract paintings that deal with nostalgia, remembrance and intimacy.
