KS6: Joe Ka

Narrative paintings by visual artist Joe Ka captivate spellbinding moments in expressive colors

„Downtown Bookstore“ reflects on a serene scene in a Barnes & Noble bookstore cafe, in Warren Street, Lower Manhattan, New York City. A group of people sitting around cozy coffee tables are busy reading books or working on laptop computers. The painting opens up to the viewer, warm-colored lights glow invitingly. Central to Joe Ka’s picture is a young woman, deep in thought, moving toward the viewer while holding a steaming cup of coffee. Is she looking for a place to stay? Or is she already on her way out?
