Zoe Koke is a Canadian artist based in Los Angeles.
Her recent body of work traces the gradation of light as day gives way to night.

Grounded in touch and guided by intuition, her process unfolds as a conversation between material and perception. The paintings evolve through chance and serendipity, allowing form to emerge rather than be imposed. For Koke, painting is both intimate and vulnerable, a practice of stillness and surrender within the flux of
time.

Influenced by a childhood spent in nature and by the independent women in her family, a lineage of curiosity spanning geology, archaeology, and theology, her work carries a quiet reverence for the natural world and the unseen forces that shape it. Koke’s paintings become meditations on consciousness and transformation, offering spaces where light, memory, and awareness converge, and where the viewer is invited to linger in the unfolding of perception itself
