Kuksi

The works seen in website are all created by one man, Kris Kuksi. His diversity of styles and concepts free him from falling into the comforts of repetitive ideas that so many artists follow. Finding it best to challenge himself with each piece, Kuksi is never afraid of trying new things and experimentation. His works share his thoughts on psychological issues, religious ideology, and aesthetics. Yet he never strays from the honesty within himself though he has had to shed many masks in order to do so. He finds the materialistic world of popular culture as the food for self-indulgence, self-escapism, and shallow-heartedness. Kuksi is obsessed with exposing the illusions we created as a result of fear in our minds. These illusions are the aspects of society that encourages domestication of our free selves. A society that furthermore teaches us to behave according to those rules that we deeply, yet unknowingly, want to resist. He believes there is no Hell but a Hell that is of the Earth. This Hell is seen as war and suffering that is all around us just as Hell might be described. He believes not in the Devil but in demons in the mind that create the real Hell of mental anguish, suffering, and guilt which inevitably manifests the turmoil of humanity. He decides to see things differently in attempts to challenge the perspectives and ways of seeing that society, religion, parents, and governments want us to. He believes all walks of life, all people, all creatures are equal and it is selfish of us to characterize, judge, and punish those we feel are inferior to us. Kuksi wishes that his viewers will at least see things a different way even if it is only a brief while.
