Lily van der Stokker

Lily van der Stokker

Lily van der Stokker works in Amsterdam and NYC. Her cotton candy forms, patterns, and domestic objects carry provocative text that challenges artistic conventions, hierarchies, and gender inequities. In Art in America in 1994, Jerry Saltz described 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."
