Artist Kris Kuksi

Ragmag described Kris Kuksi’s art as “mind-blowing, macabre, and beautifully grotesque art…[that] will taunt you by the sheer complexity of detail, leaving you even more baffled as you stare for hours at all the figurines that were smacked into coexistence.” An American artist, who grew up in Kansas, Kuksi’s “Fantastic Realism” genre is intriguing, Baroque in influence, steampunk, hedonistic … and fascinating.
