Brian Kokoska (born November 8, 1988 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a New York-based artist known for his paintings, sculptures and installations.[1]

Education

Work

Brian is recognized for his paintings of faces, flowers, masks, text and other scenery. He also makes monochromatic sculptural installations that incorporate heads, pedestals and acquired objects. New York art writer Christopher Eamon described Kokoska's work as the exception to "the abject in American art [having] had its apotheosis in the early 1990s in the work of Mike Kelley and Cindy Sherman."[3]
