Famous marine photographer KOS Evans uses pieces of sail from some of the most famous and historic racing yachts in the world for her newest CARBONCANVAS modern art series
When it comes to the special alchemy that can happen at the intersection of superyachts and the America’s Cup, the recent BWA Superyacht Regatta Gala had all the exclusive elegance you’d expect to find at the pinnacle of the yacht racing world.
But, I don’t really want to talk about the party. In fact, I think the charity auction that took place during the gala, and featured the extraordinary modern art series that was created by the award-winning marine photographer who is “one name” famous—KOS— was the highlight of the night for several reasons.
First off, her talent as a marine photographer has been obvious since she first blasted on to the scene during the historic 1983 America’s Cup. And as a yachting journalist who’s always depended on talented photographers to help illustrate my stories, I can say with authority that KOS has always been one of the best in the world.
Second, my admiration and respect for her has only grown since I’ve gotten to know her. In fact, I think she’s one of those rare artists combines talent, fun, passion, hard work, creativity, and community mindedness in ways that can inform, inspire and delight.
