Andreas Kocks creates stunning images - carved as if engraved in space. Always black and white, and this makes them even more impressive and expressive. However, the author himself insists that his works be called sculptures. Paper sculptures.
“I am interested in space as an event, as an experience, as a sensory perception,” says Andreas. - I use paper to implement my ideas, because as a substance it is neutral, it is timeless and universal. Its fragility contains a lightness that sets me free. The paper-cut details create a three-dimensional space through the play of light and shadow."
In exploring the dimensions of space in his work, Andreas Cox carefully constructs a dialogue that is outside of sculpture, outside of drawing, and outside of time (or at least outside the historical period of the style). Cox abandons traditional materials for sculpture (bronze, steel, cement) and opts for paper as the middle ground between hard materials and full elasticity.
Cox believes the contrasting relationship between the organic shapes of cut paper and the geometric shapes of walls and architecture is "significant." What does he mean by this? The artist believes that each of his work, especially if it is large, invites the viewer to move, to change position and, thus, to change his point of view. Andreas Cox always comes to museums where his work will be exhibited, with sketches and a map of the location of his sculptures in the galleries. He always places his creations on his own, without the help of assistants.
Andreas Cox is originally from Oberhausen (Germany) and currently lives and works in New York (USA) and Munich (Germany).
