About the artwork:
This bold pop art piece breaks away from traditional imagery, focusing solely on words painted in an abstract, expressive style. "Awesome," "Amazing," "Breathtaking," "Sexy," and "Shut Up" are some of the words that dominate the canvas, each bursting with energy through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes.
The juxtaposition of these words invites the viewer to reflect on modern culture’s obsession with superlatives and extremes. Words like "Awesome," "Amazing," and "Breathtaking" echo the way we overuse hyperbole in everyday life, turning the extraordinary into the norm. The addition of "Sexy" adds a provocative edge, pointing to society's fixation on appearance and allure, while "Shut Up" injects a rebellious and confrontational tone into the piece, almost as if it's pushing back against the noise of constant praise and attention.
The abstract, expressive execution of these words adds depth to their meaning, allowing the viewer to interpret them in different ways. Kossi’s choice to paint words instead of images transforms language into art, making it both a statement and an experience. This artwork challenges the viewer to think about how we use and respond to language, emphasizing the power of words in shaping our emotions and perceptions. It's a reflection of the modern world—loud, intense, and constantly vying for attention.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
