JC Bolke

"...Bölke’s artistic approach is characterised by his distinctive use of embroidery thread, a traditionally domestic and feminine medium, reimagined through a contemporary and deeply personal lens. Through this unexpected choice of material, he challenges preconceived notions of masculinity and femininity, weaving narratives that often engage with themes of sexuality and vulnerability. His creative process is meditative, using colour and texture to convey complex emotional landscapes in his portraiture." - JC Bolke
