ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In all of my recent works, spinning plays a significant role. This spin can be interpreted in various ways according to the viewer's perspective, but the actual question is, what does it mean to me? The answer is that most of us choose to run away from our problems. When I started this series, I thought I was running away from my problems, but now I have realized I'm not; I am just spinning around my problems. This spinning is my way of contemplating the mind's desires. In Buddhism, we call it "Cittanupassana". It's how we look at negative and positive thoughts that we create by standing a few feet away from the mind. Now it has grown inside me; to face reality without letting all the negativity that life brings into my head. It almost works like a protective shield. So Keep On Spinning, spin faster, don't let grief catch you. Keep On Spinning has become me, as I have become it, as KOS.

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.
