KO n2
Canvas 40 x 40 cm, mixed technique (spray paint, Posca, stencil, alcohol marker, ballpoint pen), April 2024
In KO n2 , Mounya Kecha offers a striking allegory of the exhausting struggle of modern man against an omnipresent and oppressive economic system. The scene highlights a human silhouette, arms outstretched, seeming to defy or surrender after a fierce struggle. Behind her, a fractured landscape of rocks and water reinforces the notion of chaos and fragility.
Above, an iconic bottle floats in a halo, like a contemporary deity or guru symbolizing the omnipotence of consumption. This visual play establishes a disturbing link between addiction, worship and destruction. The choice of colors—calming blues and aggressive reds—intensifies the emotion of the painting, oscillating between serenity and despair.
The representation of the "KO of Homo Sapiens" evokes the exhaustion in the face of the incessant struggles to follow the dictates of a world dominated by finance and materialism. KO n2 is a work that challenges, a visceral critique of our collective choices and their consequences.
