Ruby Demise (13 Lives)
2014
A cartoonish, wide-eyed figure rendered in Kokoska's signature lo-fi aesthetic anchors this mixed-media work, its naive linework and flat acrylic color evoking both childhood innocence and underlying menace. A painted figurine and strands of gimp extend the composition beyond the picture plane, collapsing the boundary between painting and object. The artist's hand-built frame further unifies the piece into a singular, self-contained world that feels at once playful and deeply unsettling.
