“less is more is less”
Art installation
$12,000
Created for the Boutique Guitar Showcase at NAMM 2025, the installation
»Less is More is Less« explores the conceptual evolution of Cosmo in a playful,
artistic way. It features a fully working two-string batten e-guitar (right), a textile-body pictogramm sculpture (left), and the center piece the Cosmo — hand-painted by Las Vegas based artist Pretty Done. By partially removing the powder coating with a vacuum, he created a bold pattern before it is permanently baked in. This pattern intentionally disrupts the guitar’s clean shape, creating a tension of more & less.
