Chris Kuksi bezeichnet sich selbst als “macabre artist”. Er ist Skulpteur, Zeichner und Maler. Während Zeichnungen und Malerei auch sehr naturalistisch daher kommen können, spielen die Skulputern in einer ganze anderen verrückten und abgedrehten Liga.
Kuksi’s art speaks of a timelessness–potentiality and motion attempting to reach on forever, and yet pessimistically delayed; forced into the stillness of death and eternal sleep. He treats morbidity with a sympathetic touch and symbolizes the paradox of the death of the individual by objective personification of death. There is a fear of this consciousness because it drops in upon us without mercy, and yet there is a need to appeal to it in order to provide a sense of security, however deluded that sense may be. Kuksi’s art warns us that this appeal is irrelevant, and that we should be slow to create a need for it. His themes also teach us that although death may pursue us arbitrarily, we should never neglect to mourn the tremendous loss of individual potential. – von Kuksis Webseite
