Press release

Perrotin is pleased to present Koak’s first major European exhibition in France. Lake Margrethe is the San Francisco-based artist’s second solo show with the gallery.

The exhibition offers multiple entry points into Koak’s work. The energy emanating from its forms and colors is immediately palpable. Trained in the visual literary medium of Comics, Koak has brought into the field of painting the communicative power of the line, which she likens to “a sense of language that runs across my practice (through drawing, painting, and sculpture), one that’s tone or intonation can shift dramatically with the slightest shift in curve or weight.”
