Kris Kuksi: Master of Fantastic Realism.

“A post-industrial Rococo master, Kris Kuksi obsessively arranges characters and architecture in asymmetric compositions with an exquisite sense of drama. Instead of stones and shells he uses screaming plastic soldiers, miniature engine blocks, towering spires and assorted debris to form his landscapes.The political, spiritual and material conflict within these shrines is enacted under the calm gaze of remote deities and august statuary. Kuksi manages to evoke, at once, a sanctum and a mausoleum for our suffocated spirit.” I can’t even explain how massively talented this sculptor is. If I ever got to go to an exhibit of his, I don’t think I would ever want to leave… Even his pencil drawings look like sculptures. You can browse through countless works at his site kuksi.com
