Poster for exhibition 100 obras de Kosice, un precursor (A Hundred Works by Kosice, A Pioneer), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Gyula Kosice was an Argentine artist and poet born in 1924 who pioneered kinetic and light-based sculpture in postwar Latin America. Working primarily in metal, glass, and neon, he created dynamic installations that engaged motion, reflection, and electrical energy as formal materials. Kosice founded the Madi movement in the 1940s, an avant-garde collective centered on geometric abstraction and spatial experimentation. His practice bridged sculpture, architecture, and poetry throughout a career spanning seven decades until his death in 2016.
