English:Aukje Koks (Q110839)

       
  In the space where normality is the common realm of the absurd, Aukje Koks brings the object and its representation into an oneiric dimension in which resemblance always lapses into estrangement.
 In Aukje Koks' paintings and drawings, everyday things - taken from intimate surroundings - float in a space seemingly parallel to reality. Introversion is here interspersed with togetherness.  | 
 As if looking through a window or screen, some of the paintings represent an idea that there is a certain distance present in the works, in which transparency is a reoccurring subject.  | 
 Cut out parts of paintings appear outside of the canvas or are glued on to the painting as external elements of the same kind.
