Anthonius Kho

My works are mosaics of art and culture from my country, which is a variety of arts, cultures and languages, is a synthesis between east and west.

Which is my art education background in Germany, at FH-Cologne Art Academy, majoring in glass paintings and textile art-tapestry, therefore my works is a synthesis of mosaic and textile art.

A particular theme in my work is people, from the past until now, with various technique in my works. I use mixed medium, acrylic colors, collages such as jute, rope, modeling paste and transparent paper. It looks like 3-dimensional, because I like cubism, apart from painting I also like to make sculptures.

The subjects in my works are mostly about the mosaic of my life, the people around my life, I work with various phases, like circulation of my life.
