Beccy is a quietly commanding small-scale work in which Koak layers graphite, pastel, charcoal, and casein on rag paper to conjure a figure that feels at once intimate and elusive. At just 25.4 by 17.8 centimeters, the piece rewards close looking, its compressed scale intensifying the psychological weight of the image. The combination of drawing media creates a surface that is both precise and atmospheric, with casein lending a matte, almost fresco-like opacity that anchors the more fugitive marks of charcoal and pastel beneath and around it. Koak, who lives and works in San Francisco, holds graduate and undergraduate degrees from California College of the Arts, where she developed a practice rooted in comics, drawing, and painting traditions without being confined by any single one. Her work has been exhibited in solo presentations at Union Pacific in London, Ghebaly Gallery in Los Angeles, Walden in Buenos Aires, and Alter Space in San Francisco, and her group show history spans institutions and spaces including the Museum of Sex in New York and American Medium, also in New York. Beccy, signed by the artist and available in the context of the Headlands Center for the Arts Benefit Auction, represents an accessible entry point into a body of work that has attracted sustained critical and institutional attention. Works on paper of this intimacy and finish are rarely available from an artist at this stage of her career, making this a meaningful acquisition for any collection attentive to contemporary figurative and drawing practices.
