KOSS explores the traces of memory and the power of gesture through works in which material, movement, and intimate memories are transformed into artistic language. Immersed in the world of creativity from childhood through her father, KOSS grew up amid the vibrant energy of the École niçoise. Regular visits to the studios of major figures such as César, Ben, Sosno, and Folon proved a true catalyst, opening her mind to absolute artistic freedom. Drawing on this rich legacy, she quickly developed multidisciplinary expertise, exploring charcoal, mosaic, and painting in turn. Today, she devotes herself fully to visual arts, painting, and sculpture to examine our contemporary world. This exhibition explores the imprint of memory through works combining charcoal, ink, and charred wood. My childhood curls, once subject to judgment, are transformed here into a true graphic force. Through the maturity of my work as a visual artist, I have reclaimed this movement to extract its essence. Beyond writing and drawn forms, raw material takes over to explore the imprints of our intimate memory. In these interplay of textures and contrasts, gesture breaks free, relentlessly seeking to reveal the essence rather than merely the outer shell.
