Douglas Coupland is an artist and writer, considered to be one of the most notable of his generation. Initially best known for his writing, since the early 1990âs he has published several acclaimed novels, his first being the iconic Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture which launched in 1991 and identified Coupland as a significant new voice able to skilfully capture the zeitgeist of the moment, or as he describes it: "the early 21st century conditionââ. Returning to visual arts in 2000, Coupland uses various media including painting, photography, printing, installation and quilts, to cleverly merge pop culture and technology with art historical references ranging from historical painting, to 20th century Pop Art.
