About the Artist
Dana Lok's practice delves into the philosophical underpinnings of seeing and understanding, creating paintings that playfully disrupt conventional perspectives. Through a meticulous layering of symbolic imagery, trompe l'oeil effects, and often ambiguous compositions, she constructs visual puzzles that invite extended contemplation. Her work examines how imagery functions as a container for thought, exploring the slippage between what is seen and what is intellectually grasped. Lok's compelling approach engages with the historical discourse of painting while forging a distinctive contemporary voice in its exploration of visual cognition.
