Who is Paul Kolker?

Paul Kolker is an American artist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and he currently resides on Long Island while working from his Chelsea studio in New York City.

Paul Kolker’s work is oriented in substantive detail and successive procedural steps. Through a multi-stepped technical process of fractionation, painting and silk-screening, the artist brings to his studio and into his art experience in the disciplines of science, philosophy and fine arts. He distinguishes his work through a process which he calls fracolor, the deconstruction by fractionation and painting with primary colors, including black and white. Kolker’s recent work is rooted in the graphic and pixilated world of contemporary culture, media and information.

The artist is also Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at North Shore LIJ / Glen Cove Hospital on Long Island.
