    Kris Kuksi Art Book

    Kris Kuksi’s sculptures, rendered in immaculate detail, evoke a grandeur reminiscent of the Baroque era. Kuksi successfully merges this sumptuous echo of the past with a satirical and critical commentary of our modern industrial world. These finely crafted sculptures employ images of Gods and Goddesses from past and present mythologies and examine religious belief and iconography. Despite the frequent portrayal of corruption, violence, chaos and degeneration, the works in this book challenge aspects of our beliefs and question whether or not humans have the ability to improve the world’s prosperity.

    The creation of these sculptures spans the last five years and embodies Kuksi’s personal view of our turbulent world. These beautiful assemblages grace the walls of galleries and museums throughout the world and are displayed in the homes of numerous celebrities.

    This stunning volume allows the wider public to examine and appreciate these artworks in exquisite detail for the first time.

  • Churchtank Type 9

    Limited Edition Bronze Cast

    Kris Kuksi’s first fine art edition, Churchtank Type 9, is a bronze casting in an edition of 10 created from the artist's ongoing Churchtank series. The bronze was published by and available exclusively from Joshua Liner Gallery.

    Notable countries with superior forces have often forced Christianity upon indigenous peoples, in some instances annihilating tribes and cultures in the process. The Churchtank embodies this display of might, as a cathedral nestled seamlessly upon the lower half of a tank. Its turret erupting from the cathedral doors with a tiny crucifix barrel sight ready to unleash the commandments of Popes, Cardinals, and Priests in the divine form of 100mm shells. Imagine a Churchthank scouting about the barren rubble of decimated landscapes for non-believers — A dark but pertinent scenario given the ‘holy wars’ that still exist to this day. All hail the Churchtank, may it remind us that religious fanaticism is harmful to the flavor and tastes of the exotic cultures of mankind, and to the individuals that seek their own paths to enlightenment.
