尼克·科斯马斯是一位常驻上海的艺术家，他的灵感来源于世界能量以及推动世界轴线运转的不同力量。他的漫画是唤醒当今世界幻象和能量的象征。在愤世嫉俗和充满希望的平行视野中，善恶在对峙中碰撞。城市的毁灭和死亡与清晰鲜明的想象联系在一起，科斯马斯通过我们熟悉的卡通形象将这些对立面带给我们。尼克·科斯马斯自身即强大的世界能量。

— Jacob Dreyer

Nik Kosmas is a Shanghai-based artist inspired by world energy, and the different forces pushing and pulling at the axis mundi. His cartoons are symbols that evoke the clashes of world visions and energies that are happening today. As parallel visions of cynicism and hope, good and evil collide in a standoff. With death and destruction of cities attached to clearly distinct visions, Kosmas brings these dichotomies to us in the familiar format of cartoons. Nik Kosmas is Big World Energy.

— Jacob Dreyer

尼克·科斯马斯 (生于1985年，美国明尼阿波利斯) 是一位居住在上海的混合艺术家。他的作品是一场通过技术、体验、苦难和成长而进行的身体、情感和精神旅程。科幻小说、体育运动、科学、性和心理学都是研究和启发他的沃土。他曾与巴黎世家等品牌合作，其作品曾在纽约新博物馆、第九届柏林双年展和第53届威尼斯双年展的互联网馆等展览中展出。

Nik Kosmas (b. 1985, Minneapolis, US ) is a genre-blending artist based in Shanghai. His work is a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey through technology, human experience, suffering, and growth. Science fiction, sports practice and science, sex and psychology are fertile fields of research and inspiration. He has collaborated with brands such as Balenciaga and exhibited in spaces such as the New Museum in New York and participated in the 9th Berlin Biennale and The Internet Pavilion (PadiglioneInternet) on the occasion of the 53rd Venice Biennale. 

科斯马斯参与的其他展览包括：北京尤伦斯当代艺术中心的“后网络艺术”；香港K11美术馆“翡翠城”(Emerald City)；柏林König画廊(2021年)、香港Woaw画廊(2021年)；上海BANK画廊(2021年)；爱沙尼亚Temnikova& Kasela画廊(2020年)；纽约AlyssaDavis画廊(2019年)；瑞士HaciendaZürich(2015和2016年)。尼克·科斯马斯曾是后网络二人组AIDS-3D的成员，该组合对于创造后网络艺术类别具有重要意义。他们的作品被汉诺威艺术协会等机构收藏。他还担任了2021年5月在柏林出版的《Numero》特刊的特约编辑。

Other exhibitions include “Post-Internet Art” at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing; “Emerald City” at the K11 Art Museum in Hong Kong; König Galerie in Berlin (2021)；Woaw Gallery in Hong Kong (2021); BANK Gallery in Shanghai (2021)；Temnikova & Kasela Gallery in Estonia(2020); Alyssa Davis Gallery in New York (2019); Hacienda Zürich in Switzerland(2015 & 2016). Nik Kosmas was formerly half of the post-internet duo AIDS-3D, which was significant in creating the category of post-Internet art, and whose work is collected by institutions such as Kunstverein Hannover. He is also a guest editor of a special section on Numero in Berlin, which was published in May 2021.
