The 9 works in this exhibition celebrate a decade (2014 – 2024) of Alex Kosmas’s sculptural explorations. They represent different but related directions in his art, and each powerfully asserts Kosmas’s continuing journeys into the language and processes of sculpture. His is an art that reveals the primacy of making. For him the intricacies and convolutions of intimate engagement with his materials (here essentially ceramic and bronze) and the fashioning of these into resolved and significant sculptural expressions was, and remains his chief artistic raison d’être.
Alex Kosmas is a consummate maker; an artist with a sophisticated understanding and control of material, form and surface, and the successful aesthetic resolution of the elision of these. He continues to produce commanding sculptural objects in a visual language that is his manifestly is own.
