Kori Newkirk is currently gaining recognition for his mixed-media paintings and sculpture installations. Many of his paintings are urban landscapes in the form of beaded curtains made with plastic pony beads (typically used as hair ornaments) strung on stands of artificial braid. Newkirk also uses hair pomade to create wall paintings. Evocative in both texture and smell, this sensual material embodies cultural references that are both personal and political. His installations resonate with underlying social implications that speak to issues of self, identity, race, and urbanity.
