"One may feel a little misplaced in time and space when viewing Zokosky's work... Most of his works are portrayed in poetic fashion and in relations to the nature... Yet it could be a natural phenomenon or as the illusions in dreams at the same time." －Victoria Yung-Chih Lu

Peter Zokosky was born in California in 1957 and is one of the best-known artists since the post-modernist period of the 1980s. After graduating from University of California in 1981, Zokosky continued his study at the Otis Art Institute and received his master's degree. He received Visual Arts Grant in Painting from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1987. In Volcano for instance, viewers can't help but to notice that the dark clouds behind the little boy are about to dominate the sky, and that the boiling lava is engulfing the town that is already nearly destroyed. In the lower right corner, one can note that the boy in white is in stark contrast with grey volcano ash. Is the balance between mankind and nature falling apart? Works of Zokosky remind viewers to think carefully and re-evaluate our actions.
