Cole intends to make a kind of 'Poesy Painting', based on a conceptual link between literature (poetry), visual art and life. His works aim is to be connected to poetry, debate and contrary but not to follow the often cringe worthy pairing of the
adjective, 'poetic', and painting. The works focus on areas such as rhythm, semantic content, visual and verbal puns and the real life ways both physical and visual that poetry can be considered a key discourse in painting. His paintings are a
visual representation of the poetry of epiphany, moments of creative inspiration and a merging of the poetic and artist myth making.
