Cocke (born 1950) is an American painter based in Arizona, known for enigmatic invented landscapes and still lifes. He emerged in the 1980s, producing expressionistic figurative paintings with a socio-critical dimension that drew on Chicago Imagism, Funk art and surrealism. In the 1990s, he turned to unpopulated, panoramic vistas combining classical painting technique and surreal features, which critics have described as hyperreal, hallucinatory and otherworldly. Curator Julie Sasse has written that despite dramatic changes in style and subject matter, his work has asserted \"a consistent desire to address not only human relationships, but also the relationships between humankind and the natural world.\""@en . . . . . . . . . . .
