Janice Kok
Degree: MA Fine Art
University: Lincoln School of Art and Design
Graduation Year: 2003
Fetching the highest price in a Nottingham contemporary art auction in 2005, Kok’s bright, vivacious and it must be said, very pretty works, are extremely popular. Enter this wonderful world of colour.
“I fuse abstraction and figuration to create hybrid paintings that are essentially decorative and that explore relationships of colour area against colour area. I remain an admirer of those colourists who make paint sing... a long catalogue of heroes: John Hoyland, Albert Irvin, Barbara Rae, Martin Maloney, Patrick Heron, Henri Matisse.
I use acrylic paint with the highest colourfastness and pigmentation, and experiment with all forms of mixed media as the specific subject may dictate.
My decisions are based predominantly on formal issues, as I believe that composition forms the linchpin of a good painting with colour always engaging with it. My subject matter is wide and varied, including Whitby, geology, biodiversity, still life and coincidence. With recent sortees to North Yorkshire producing a series of work about Whitby, followed by my work investigating book titles. I am currently experimenting with new oil paints and engaging again with my 'cupring' theme.”
