About the Artwork:

Contained Field (2026) is an original abstract work on paper by contemporary artist Kristin Kossi, exploring the tension between containment and interruption.

Built from repeated, imperfect boundaries and a singular vertical gesture, the composition reflects the moment when a system emotional, psychological or physical, reaches its limit. Rather than depicting collapse, the work considers the quieter transformation that begins when containment is no longer possible.

The surface carries visible traces of time, restraint and residue. Layers of acrylic and oil stick create a tactile field in which marks appear to accumulate, resist and dissolve. The work invites slow looking rather than immediate interpretation, allowing meaning to emerge gradually through texture, gesture, repetition and absence.

Open and contemplative, Contained Field exists somewhere between structure and release capturing the subtle point at which something held together begins to shift into another state.

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.
