kinke kooi makes drawings that glorify and pacify difference and difficulties, be it one’s place in the world, fat, sag, holes, beauty, body hair, decoration, social status, or just keeping it together. her use of rendered representation, repetition or maybe obsession coax the pleasures of the eye and form a meditation for both the maker and the viewer. and there is her persistent use of pink that runs the gamut of possibilities from superficially pretty to sweet to fleshy to medicinal which when coupled with her confrontational imagery generates both push and pull.
