Many artists like to express their thoughts via paintings. However, I thought in the opposite direction for my “Shape of a thought” collection.

For me, the shape of a thought is a very abstract idea to play with. Subjectively our thoughts come from nowhere: they just pop into our heads; no one really knows what it looks like, it’s colour, size, weight, shape or where they originate from. Objectively, we can say that thoughts emerge from neural processes. Thoughts are the result of interrelationships between forms and colours - they create an aesthetic experience which engages sights and emotions.

The thoughts we allow into our brain everyday shape our lives and impact our future. They contribute to our behaviours, decisions and therefore our actions, personality and character are based on our thoughts. We become what we think, our thoughts are as unique as our individual profiles. Therefore I created thoughts as the shape of a human profile in a cylindrical or spherical way, almost looking like a spinning top or a UFO.

Colours also play a major role in this collection as I believe thoughts come in a shape as well as colours. These colours change according to each particular thought. To create this phenomenon, I chose different colour combinations very carefully to convey your thoughts to those scenes. Colours are the tools to imagine what a scene might look like therefore, those combinations offer alternative and subjective interpretations to the viewer.

It’s an idea based on the story of thought. In a way, it’s more about what we expect a painting to be but the possibilities of what the painting could be if you think about long enough - and that for me, is the coolest aspect of these paintings.

Kos Cos is an abstract artist from Sri Lanka residing in Hong Kong. He is known for his unconventional approach to art, which involves using bold brushstrokes, vivid colours, and movement. By employing innovative techniques of form, geometry, and pattern, Kos Cos explores the nature of human thoughts and the cyclical aspect of life. His art is influenced by the aesthetics of billboard paintings that were prevalent in Sri Lanka during the 1990s, as well as advertising. Kos Cos also received training in cartoon drawing under the tutelage of Sri Lankan cartoonist Mr S. C. Opatha. Kos Cos has exhibited his artwork in both the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. He was a finalist for the 2018 Royal Art Prize and was also chosen as one of the artists for Saatchi Art's inaugural NFT drop, 'The Other Avatars,' in 2022. His art has been acquired by prestigious institutions such as Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, in addition to private collectors from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia.
