Merin May Kho (Arnhem, 2001) is a visual artist born in a small city in the only hilly bit of the east of the Netherlands. With a background in musicology and art-history, she moves against the notion that girly things are inherently childlike and unprofessional. Through elephantine but gentle gestures, she enlightens the absurdness of reality. 
How can we savour the naivite of lived experience through embracing the weirdness of reality? How can we revisit our existing reality like how a child sees the world as their playground? In her work, Merin researches these questions and how she can translate joy into a becoming of a responsible human being.



As a second year student at the BEAR fine arts programme of ArtEZ Arnhem, she is fully developing her practice through intuitive experimentation whilst simultaneously researching the theoretical, philosophical and feminist influences of the contemporary.
