Judging from his uber - dark , mech’d - out graphics , Kris Kuksiprobably had a disturbing childhood ( or dropped loony toons in graveyards ) . But it does n’t make his pieces any less awing .
Kuksi ’s carving and cyclorama ( bas - reliefs if you wanna get technical about it ) incline to look at the tensions between the old world and the modernistic one , with laborious emphasis on themes of faith , conquest and death . And he managed to attain all this while still maintaining a tech sensibility to his employment that threw me into an all out nerdgasm . LikeArt Machinespoints out , these trope do n’t do the work DoJ , but you may soar upwards around over onKuksi ’s siteand check out all the involution .
Some pieces , peculiarly the 1 involving tanks , are overtly political , while others focalise to a great extent on the spiritual . But my personal favorites are the one shown above , the firearm with the Zeppelin , and the work of the skeletal system cradle a village — which looks vaguely like Zion ( the underground city in the Matrix ) interbreed with ancient Nipponese mythology . And there are tons more sculpture over on Kuksi ’s internet site you should unquestionably check out . [ Kris KuksiviaArt Machines ]
