Tall Tales | New Work by Mindy Kober
June 19th through July 13th
Mindy Kober was born and currently works out of Houston, Texas. In her large scale drawings on paper, she juxtaposes stereotypical American characters and icons into foreign or created environments, where they can interact in various ways. These cultural relationships explore themes of politics, colonialism, diaspora, and nationalism, and environmental issues. Sampled images are taken out of context and combined in new ways for the viewer to interpret.
Mindy Kober received her BFA in painting from the University of Houston, and her MFA in painting from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
