Mr Kuu

In January 2023, a highly anticipated New Collection of four limited edition prints will mark the 10-year anniversary of his national debut in UK galleries. The demand from his devoted fans and art buyers prompted this exciting return to nationwide publication.

Mr Kuu's specialty lies in portraying tiny individuals in comical and surreal scenarios, blending imagination with realism to evoke contemplation. He proudly embraces the title of "people watcher," perceiving the extraordinary in the everyday aspects of life.

The key lies in macro photography, capturing extreme close-ups of handcrafted renditions of individuals in creative interpretations of reality. Despite this, he remains faithful to his eccentric portrayal of the world, rejecting digital alterations and staying loyal to the artistic perspective of his close-up lens.

Growing up with a photographer for a father, it was only natural that he developed a passion for the craft. Early on, he started experimenting with different cameras and was encouraged to freely express his creative vision through his photos.

One intriguing aspect of the art is the lack of information about the person known as 'Mr. Kuu'. However, it is clear that his focus is on enjoyment. He encourages us to closely examine every aspect and find joy, humour, and meaning in our everyday actions. Amidst this, he reminds us of our humanity and our inherent capacity for kindness in the world.
