Coco Kats

Coco is a Pop Artist with a difference. Contrary to the common use of advertising, comic book imagery, cultural kitch and irony, the motivating sources behind her choice of subjects include cultural pride, inspiration and admiration. The figures that she portrays are universally known and like some other Pop artists she creates an entire series using the same figure in altered settings.

Stencils, brushwork, charcoal, graphite and other mixed media are used in her different series of paintings that depict the stories ( usually surrounding inspiring figures of recent history.)

More of a tribute than a political statement, her paintings have layers of handwritten text quotes from her subjects, large stencilled letters of highlighted phrases and overlaid images of the well known figures .

Her paintings are  exhibited at Port Art Gallery in Melbourne and Maleuca Gallery in Anglesea, Victoria and have been collected by a range of buyers from Australia and visitors from other countries.

What's on my mind...
