‘A lot of people think I’m a guy because... I draw women the way I do. But my name is Kristin Anna Olson Katz,’ the artist Koak (@annakoak) explained to @culturedmag. Based in San Francisco, Koak paints the ‘modern-day American Gothic, the Midwestern woman on the verge.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At Art Basel Miami Beach 2019, @AltmanSiegel exhibited the artist's works on paper and sculptures, including the above, ‘Modesty’ (2018), a solid maple dressing screen with hand-dyed graphite drawings of female figures writhing, gnawing, and bringing the ax down, rendered in bold black lines and moody colors.
