The garden of Watery Delights
Limited edition catalogue. Exhibition 13 by Kozyndan.
Vallery.
Kozy and I began working together as artists and illustrators while still in college. One day in 2001 kozy showed me a long drawing she had done of our apartment for a school project. I liked the drawing a lot, so i scanned it into the computer and began coloring the drawing in Photoshop. The result was our first panoramic. We were happy with the results and decided to make more.
Seven years later we are still working togethewher. The panoramics we make have progressed into a continuing series of images, and became central, to our minds anyway, in our body of work.
In "The Garden of Watery Delights" the themes revolve mostly around nature and our concern about the way humanity is entirely careless about the environment. Some of the characters are just subconscious concoctions taken from our sketchbooks and as such are often silly visual puns or down right vulgar, while others reflect what is happening at the time in our own lives, and still others are commentary about serious current issues in the world today.
The result, we hope, is always an amusing mix mash that will allow people to discover little details each time they see the work.
BIOGRAPHY
Kozyndan is a Los Angeles-based team of artist/illustrators known for their digitally painted pencil drawings of contemporary urban cityscapes and surreal interior spaces. Comprised of husband and wife Dan and Kozue Kitchens, kozyndan creates both fine art and commercial projects, and has been showcased internationally to much critical acclaim. The duo met in a painting class in college in the late 1990s. They began collaborating, and the result has been a series of personal works that often reflect their affection - and repulsion - for the rampant urban sprawl and technological overload that characterize everyday city life. Their detailed drawings portray realistic urban panoramas, which on closer inspection reveal often absurd scenarios. In one, for example, elderly Chinese women, armed only with dim-sum, stave off an aerial attack on San Francisco's Chinatown, while in another, marauding day-glo bunnies take on Manhattan. According to Dan, the pair's work portrays their "unease with and love of the modern world."
Koznydan's other work includes album covers for Weezer, John Mayer, Daedelus, Lyrics Born, and the Postal Service, as well as magazine illustrations for Colors, Adbusters, Tokion, Relax, Giant Robot, XLR8R, among others. They've also done commercial projects for RES Fest, Electronic Arts, Converse, Nike, Wieden+Kennedy and Puma, and they've produced an array of products featuring their artwork, including posters, books (their first, Urban Myths, was recently published by early supporters Giant Robot) and t-shirts. The couple has also exhibited work in galleries and museums from Los Angeles to Toronto, London, New Zealand and Australia.
