Mountains do not turn, roads turn; if roads do not turn, people turn. As long as the mind turns, adversity can also turn into opportunity. When encountering difficulties, change your perspective, try to humorously view the world, and different results may appear. Just like the Austrian artist Anatol Knotek, cleverly transforming “Problem” into “Poem,” humorously resolving the “issue.”
Recently, COS collaborated with artist Anatol Knotek on a creative dialogue themed “Problem,” launching a new limited edition collection. Anatol excels in creating simple yet touching visual poetry pieces, seemingly simple yet hiding deep messages, often with a hint of humor, and he is skilled at using words to replace colors and lines for presentation.
This COS x Anatol Knotek collaboration series also incorporates his commonly used font elements and black and white tones into the design, based on the work “The Solution”, cleverly transforming the word “Problem” into “Poem”. The series includes 4 items, including two T-Shirts, a Tote Bag, and a silk scarf.
