克利斯多夫•庫克（Christopher Cook) 出生於英國約克郡。 早期在英國愛克塞特大學就讀文學與美術，後又獲得倫敦英國皇家美術學院繪畫專業研究生學位。
庫克曾作為義大利政府專邀學者，在博羅涅爾進行了三年的創作實踐。在此期間，參加了卡薩馬薩鞒的“敖爾比的厄爾斯女神”展，以及于佛羅倫薩舉辦的“從培根到現在”的展覽。1991年至1993年，庫克先後於德國法蘭克福與英國牛津大學任客座藝術家。1994年，他被評為美國加州大學傑出訪問藝術家，作品入選英國／洛杉磯藝術節，並代表英國參加了法國卡克尼斯繪畫雙年展以及在曼谷舉行的歐盟藝術展。
He studied Literature and Fine Art at the University of Exeter, UK, and MA Painting at the Royal College of Art, London. He spent three years in Bologna as Italian Government scholar, exhibiting in Eros in Albion at the Casa Masaccio and From Bacon to Now at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Between 1991-93 he was Guest Artist at the Stadelschule in Frankfurt, Germany and Visiting Fellow to the University of Oxford, and in 1994 became Distinguished Visiting Artist to CalState University Long Beach, exhibiting in the UK/LA festival, and representing the UK at the Cagnes Painting Biennale, France and the European Union exhibition in Bangkok.
1995年與1997年間，三次較長時間的印度采風之旅促使庫克對自己的藝術創作進行了重新思考。 他早期作品中常用的色彩逐漸消失，而目前我們所看到的以黑白為主的石墨系列也由此時産生並慢慢成形。庫克的初期石墨系列作品曾獲得利物浦XX1約翰•摩爾斯獎。大量作品曾在挪威，德國和美國等國家的主要大型藝術展中展出。
Between 1995 to 1997 three extended research visits to India led to a rethink of his work, from which the ‘graphites’ appeared, and colour has not returned since. An early graphite was prize winner at John Moores Liverpool XX1 and others have been the subject of major group and solo shows in Norway, Germany and the USA.
自1998年起，庫克被任命為英國普利茅斯大學繪畫係講師。2000年出版了他的個人詩集《為自然，反對自然》。為深入這一主題，庫克在基金支助下走訪了澳大利亞布戴農自然保護區，隨後又在英國文化委員會支援下成為英國西南部伊甸園生態工程的特邀駐地藝術家。在長達兩年的駐地創作期間，他開始試驗一些與生物基因，自然組織系統相關的大型繪畫作品。2004年起，庫克的個人藝術展在美國的四大美術館巡迴展出。2005年十一月，其作品又于日本橫濱藝術三年展中展出。
In 1998 Cook was appointed Reader in Painting at the University of Plymouth. Following publication of his selected poems: For and Against Nature in 2000, he travelled on a scholarship to the Bundanon Trust in Australia, and later that year began a two year Arts Council of England residency at the Eden Project in Cornwall UK, where some of the larger images relating to genetics and self-organising systems began, along with material for his latest artist's book a thoroughbred golden calf. In 2004/05 a major survey show supported by the British Council toured four venues in the USA.
