Finn Cossar

Artist

Finn Cossar is an artist living and working in the Sunshine Coast region of Southeast Queensland. Finn has an explorative curiosity for nature established from spending time bushwalking, at the beach and traveling to rural environments; this translates in his sculptural work that features aged materials such as stone, rusted steel, and forms of old machinery. He enjoys combining these elements using industrial techniques such as welding, forging, smelting, plasma cutting, and manipulation. Finn aims to create works that intrigue the observer, particularly as to how they remain in place. His art practice is a vital part of his life: “My one goal in life is to inspire people with my work and to bring physicality to the concepts I create in my mind.” Finn’s work is both publicly enjoyed and collected by independent clients.
