El SykesKo is a British artist who explores what for some people who would be called a dark universe.  The philosophy behind his representations of death are, from my perspective, is quite ironical. Each of his sculptures is meticulously assembled.  Each element is added with particular attention to detail to bring humor and lightness to what frightens so many people: “death.” According to El Sykesko, death could be approached with more fun and grace. After all, isn’t death a liberating passage and life merely a step?  With these sculptures, El Sykesko questions our perceptions of what may seem dark to us.  Each skull is pure and minimalist.He recovers or transforms accessories, fabrics found in his garage or flea markets, to bring them a second life, and coat these skulls. Because of his sculptures, El SykesKo confronts us with taboos and makes death, part of our daily life.  Each skull has all a story to tell. Look at them into details, and you’ll be able to see what their life they had.
