LA-based artist Alika Cooper's Wetsuits are part of a series of bronze-cast swimsuits. Each suit is unique. Also known for sunset-colored, collaged-fabric paintings of abstracted swimsuit-clad bodies, the Wetsuit series is an exploration of turning the material into sculpture. The process is performative, using a choreographed action that mimics disrobing. Cooper’s Wetsuits impart a sultry rigor as she explores the male vs. female gaze.
