YOKO?
is your name really
Yoko Molotov is a Louisville, Kentucky-based multimedia artist specializing in transgressive, gender-fluid comics, art, poetry, and performances.
Molotov’s work is inspired by manga artist Mita Ryuusuke, Rumiko Takehashi and surrealist automatism, a free flowing art-making process in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process. Her work blends comedy with tragedy, innocence with erotica, and a precise, graphically technical style with unpolished expressionism.
Yoko Molotov is represented by WheelHouse Gallery and has exhibited work at Land of Tomorrow in Louisville and Lexington, Sheherazade Gallery in Louisville, and the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana and ARTS ITOYA in Takeo, Japan.
As a musician, Molotov performs in projects such as harpy, injury lawyer, LIVE KNIFE, and Tsunami Samurai.
