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. [Lynn Love (October 16, 2006).

Kolker’s recent work is rooted in the graphic and pixilated world of contemporary culture, media and information.
