Yok Joaquin, born in 1998 in the Philippines, is known for his deceptively simple and childlike paintings that combine humor, dark comedy, and unfiltered spontaneity. His work often walks the line between innocence and subversion—blending playful imagery with sharp undertones, including the occasional use of profanity. Yok paints freehand, favoring intuition over structure, and allowing each piece to evolve organically. His distinctive voice captures raw emotion and wry commentary through a stripped-down, almost cartoonish aesthetic. With a growing presence in the contemporary art world, Yok continues to offer a fresh, unapologetically honest perspective on art and life.
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including religious books, love, sex, self-expression, and virtually anything that sparks a conversation, Yok's work invites viewers to explore the whimsical, sometimes playful, and always real aspects of life. Driven by an insatiable need to create, Yok’s art is a testament to the power of unrestrained creativity.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 2 minutes from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
