Bedtimes Stories, solo-expositie Ralf Kokke bij
Hans Alf Gallery, Kopenhagen
expositietekst
‘As kids, our parents told us bedtime stories to comfort and shield us from the dark and scary night full of imaginary monsters, ghosts, and villains. The paintings in “Bedtime Stories” portray the heroes and heroines, princes and princesses of our childhood tales and dreams. Kokke’s recognizable style, which is characterized by a rare playfulness, a vibrant use of figurative elements, and a disregard for the classical rules of perspective, reminds us of religious and heroic icons from medieval times. His new works tell the tales of brave knights on their quest to slay dragons, damsels in distress, and heroes undertaking bold pilgrimages by sea.’
