In 2024, the PoCo museum presented the exhibition Shelter by the Finnish artist Kristian Krokfors (b 1952). At its center was one of the artist’s recurring motifs, the ambivalent tent. The exhibition spoke of both freedom and homelessness, protection and uncertainty. This artwork depicts another recurring motif in the artist’s work, an inflated beach ball floating in a pool. On the one hand, every artist who depicts water is challenged to do so in a unique way. Namely, David Hockney (b 1937) is one artist whose work is synonymous with water. Coca Cola is a familiar brand from both consumer culture and Pop art. Thus, Krokfors’ artwork has a recognizable world that famous artists have already made their own. Krokfors, in turn, enters into dialogue with them and adds his own interpretation.
