Ferg Cooper is a visual artist working primarily in painting, drawing and photography. His 'Queer Pop Art' is rooted in queer theory, and mashes elements of life drawing with horror themes and tropes of comic book aesthetics. Pulling on visual influences from Francis Bacon and David Hockney, via Freddy Kruger and Chucky, through the lens of John Waters and dialogue by Paris Hilton. Often combining drawings and photos of idealised male bodies with a bold palette and cartoon imagery, his works talk about Queer existence in a heteronormative society,

Ferg graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2017 with an MA in Fine Art. He has participated in residencies including the Florence Trust and 'Plop'. He joined the inaugural panel of Artcry and has mentored for NPA Labs.

Ferg has exhibited with galleries across London and the UK, including Tate Exchange, Menier Gallery, San Mei, Mall Galleries, and Islington Arts Factory. He has worked with collectives including Bad Art Presents and Raw Art Forum, and made commissions for The Unicorn Theatre and Artcry, as well as designs for club nights and record sleeves. He is currently based at Bow Arts, Camden.​
