Kris Kuksi's intricate sculptures tell Rococo tales of the rise and fall of industrial civilization. Requiring countless hours, Kuksi's sculptures are made by a meticulous process of collection, assemblage, manipulation and unification. The resulting works are a form of three dimensional collage that reference deities, religion, morality, mortality and warfare. Kuksi successfully merges the sumptuous echo of the past with a satirical and critical commentary of our modern world.
To celebrate the release of his new book, "Divination and Delusion", Narwhal Art Projects will be hosting a book signing on Wednesday May 4. A short-run exhibition of sculptures and flat works will follow through May 8.
Divination and Delusion, a 144 page full-colour plate edition published by beinArt Publishing, presents sculptures and drawings from the past five years of Kuksi's output.
