Description

The work "Kos II" (2010, 50×50 cm) combines the history of the Greek island of Kos with a timeless, mythological visual language. At the centre is a group of golden yellow figures that seem to grow out of the earth like ancient sculptures. Their forms are reminiscent of the island's rich history, known for its connection to Hippocrates and classical antiquity.

The kneeling figure on the right radiates dynamism and a connection to the earth, while the slender figure on the left, almost like a statue, conveys a spiritual presence - perhaps a reference to the worship of the gods in antiquity. The bright blue sky and the warm, earthy colour palette emphasise the contrast between heavenly transcendence and earthly history.

"Kos II" captures the essence of the island: a place where culture, myth and nature merge. Möseneder manages to capture this historical depth in a modern style that is both meditative and lively.
