About Koos

Outside of my work I am not relevant viz a viz my art. Each piece should be able to stand or hang on its own. If an object of art can be sufficiently described in words, there is no purpose in painting or sculpting or viewing it. A patron should acquire my art only because of an affinity to the work. If there is doubt in my integrity, do not seek assurance outside of the work-do not buy!
