Altman Siegel is pleased to announce Return to Feeling, an exhibition of new paintings and drawings by San Francisco based artist Koak. For her first solo exhibition with the gallery, Koak has scripted a powerful and elegant visual experience that evokes sensorial memory, specifically as it pertains to the phenomenon and consequence of touch. The artist's signature mastery of line rendering and her complex, layered relationship to comics, character development, and gender-normative aesthetic roles are presented through an impressive new body of work.
