Erika Keck
-
Erika Keck is a painter or a sculptor living. She plays with formal notions of painting as a way of asking questions about the nature of being in this world. For her, painting becomes a masquerade, or a performance, where meaning unfolds through (it)references, (mis)readings, and exaggerations.
