teke cocina is a New York City-based interdisciplinary artist specializing in printmaking and book arts. Working primarily through iterative series, cocina’s work navigates a wide range of imagery—from the queering of historical biblical “heroes” and hagiography—to contemporary pop-cultural phenomena like television, video games, comics and cartoons, generating a constellation of objects that investigate the fluid boundaries between perception, illusion, and identity, or between affection, closeness, and violence.
cocina earned his BFA from the University at Buffalo and his MFA from Purchase College, SUNY. Since 2023, he has been recognized on the White Columns Curated Artist Registry. He currently serves as a Printshop Technician at Parsons, The New School for Design, where he also provides faculty instruction. He recently served as a guest instructor at the Lower East Side Printshop, further embedding in the New York print community.
