ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"When the Worry Starts to Hurt" captures the weight of anxiety and the physical manifestation of emotional turmoil. The figure, portrayed in a moment of vulnerability, bends slightly forward, suggesting introspection and the burden of worry. The warm, earthy tones contrast with cooler background hues, symbolizing the struggle between inner peace and external chaos. Through expressive brushstrokes and a dynamic composition, the painting conveys a sense of tension and release, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with anxiety and the importance of acknowledging and confronting our fears. This work serves as a poignant reminder of the human condition, illustrating how worry can shape our physical and emotional landscapes.

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.
