Alex Cook

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Alex Cook is a Boston artist whose mural practice connects nature imagery, direct messages and community participation. He began the YOU ARE LOVED mural project in 2014. The City of Boston commissioned him to create four interior murals for its Engagement Center, installed in November 2021 through the Transformative Public Art Program. The series includes Tree of Life, You Are Loved, Tree with Network of Stars and Thank You Heroes, with imagery and messages tailored to the different rooms and their users. Cook collaborated with the city’s Office of Recovery Services and Office of New Urban Mechanics. His own portfolio also documents neighborhood works including Love Forest in Roxbury and Welcome To Jackson Square in Jamaica Plain. Those portfolio captions identify places but do not supply installation dates or current-condition checks.
