Zoe Koke / the presence in paint

Zoe Koke (b. 1989, Alberta) creates paintings that examine speed, decay, and landscape through a critical lens on capitalism. Her oil and acrylic works shift between figuration and abstraction, engaging art historical references alongside environmental critique. Koke has presented solo exhibitions at the second space, Zurich, and exhibited at April April, New York; Smart Objects, Los Angeles; and Mai 36, while participating in group exhibitions across London, Paris, and Milan.
