ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The sculpture is named 'The Phoenix' to symbolize not only its striking visual representation but also the concepts of rebirth, renewal, and the transformative potential of art arising from everyday materials. This impressive sculpture represents a significant milestone in my artistic journey, showcasing one of my largest and most meticulous projects. Composed of a remarkable 2268 pencils meticulously glued together using Epoxy, it brings to life my concept of "Keep On Spinning" in a captivating three-dimensional form. Using pencils as a medium for sculpture conveys a powerful message of transformation and repurposing. It symbolises the potential for creativity and artistic expression to emerge from everyday objects that are often overlooked. Reimagining pencils as building blocks and joining them together highlights the beauty of unity, collaboration, and synergy. This artistic choice encourages us to see the value in the seemingly mundane and inspires us to find new possibilities in the materials we encounter in our daily lives. Ultimately, the sculpture serves as a reminder that art can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.

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.
