Billy Cosmos

Billy Cosmos is an enigma, a spirited creator who balances humour with thought-provoking depth. Drawing from a rich African & British heritage he crafts art that weaves together influences from early 20th-century movements like Dada, Bauhaus and De Stijl to Brutalism and even retro alien posters. His work is both a celebration and a gentle critique of human connection—or lack thereof—to the world and to each other.

A self-described observer of the human experience, Cosmos offers no grand statements or overtly political agendas. Instead, his multimedia and digital art invites you to question, to laugh, and to consider our place in a universe that may be more interconnected than we often imagine.

Billy exclusively uses brown paper, a humble yet powerful medium that contrasts with his bold, avant-garde style. Its natural, earthy quality reflects his focus on humanity's curious tendency to distance itself from the natural world, while its origins in early 20th-century utilitarian use align with his anti-elitist philosophy. By working with this material, Cosmos transforms the ordinary into something universal, challenging viewers to reconsider the strangeness of our collective disconnection from the very environment that sustains us.
