Perry Cooper

United States of America

Perry Cooper is a British 3D artist now based in the United States. Perry grew up in London with a strong interest in art, design and technology. He took courses at the University of Ravensbourne, where he obtained a basic degree in art and design, and at the Surrey Institute (now the University of Creative Arts), where he graduated. These experiments have allowed Perry to develop his taste for the combination of 3D, interactive technology and storytelling. His final work (an interactive documentary combining 3D and video) was selected for the International New Media Prize at the Poitiers Film Festival. Perry has been working in digital advertising since 2003, starting with the digital agency itraffic as a junior designer. At Agency.com, he introduced Cinema4D into the design workflow, working closely with creative directors to realize their ideas. He was then appointed head of design for the marketing agency Archibald Ingall Stretton. In 2009, he co-founded The Confessional, a London-based digital production company. It works with agencies to create external online, social and digital campaigns around the world. Perry has worked with many leading clients, including Amazon, Armani, British Airways, Facebook, Ikea, Jaguar and Virgin Atlantic.

Perry began posting his personal 3D digital artwork on Instagram in 2016. It was mainly to stay active using Cinema4D, his favorite software, and try out new ideas or techniques. The followers' interest in Perry’s workflow led him to create a YouTube channel, sharing his knowledge and approach to creating his animations in a loop. Since 2020, Perry has been a creator and collector in the NFT art space. Its drops have been regularly sold on Nifty Gateway, Makersplace and other NFT marketplaces. Perry’s work often adds a whimsical touch to everyday objects and experiences. During the pandemic, Perry was inspired by home objects. This led to collections of works centered on objects such as suitcases, teapots and, after the birth of his daughter, bottles of baby milk.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
