Cartouche brigade, the 3d sculptures of Kris Kuksi
Sculpturer/painter/artist Kris Kuksi knows his victorian flourishes. Kuksi assembles a divine ensemble of scrolls, toy soldiers, human and animal parts, and thermosetting polymer. He adorns impermanently posed humans and beasts with tiny worlds upon worlds getting smaller the more you zoom in on his micro detail.
His works are a combination of macabre sculptur, with influences of DaVinci's Scythed chariot combined with a serious lego fetish. Many of Kuksi's themes touch on the previous world, where artwork from bones had an entirely different meaning. It seems Kuksi picks up where Frantisek Rint left off (Czech woodcarver, known for his legendary work on the Ossuary in Sedlec).Kris's work is meant to inspire us with the fragility that truly exists under the veil of skin, which keeps us oftentimes frivolous and materialistic. His hopes are that his art exposes the fallicies of our undeservedly proud mortal sense of greedy entitlement.
