Mack Sikora is a visual artist focused primarily in painting. After receiving her MFA from Boston University in 2020, she returned home to the West Coast.

Sikora’s work centers on building space through color fields. Using hard-edge painting techniques and color value shifts, she creates dead-pan architectural spaces that reach beyond the picture plane. While her paintings gesture towards an illusion of depth, they are nevertheless constantly aware of their own flatness, poking fun at viewers’ perceptions of space. Her paintings are a façade of depth, a mask of complexity, a performance of seduction. They are swiping right on a catfish.
