Lily van der Stokker
Lily van der Stokker is an artist who lives and works in Amsterdam & NYC. Her work is unmistakable for it's appealing cotton candy appearance, bubbling and frothing into forms, patterns and domestic objects punctuated with provocative text that challenges artistic conventions, hierarchies and gender inequities. Writing for Art in America in 1994, Jerry Saltz surmised her deceptive critique: "In her own way, van der Stokker skewers that unique brand of joy Americans wear on their sleeve. She shoots that bright yellow smiley face between the eyes with bullets made of sugar."
