Dutch artist Lily van der Stokker has been making large-scale wall paintings that embrace cheerful, optimistic color and patterns since the late 1980’s. Her recent exhibition, The Tidy Kitchen, has been greeting Hammer visitors since February. In a quick interview with the artist, we get to hear more about her intentions behind The Tidy Kitchen, her thoughts on feminism and cuteness, and why she thinks this is her most feminist work yet.
