K.K. Kozik at Bill Maynes - New York, New York - Review of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleKK Kozik's novel paintings could illustrate picture volumes for grownups or, with single exception, for sophisticated children. admitting sparsely populated, the mostly nocturnal views in these smallish 1995 works intimate dreamlike narratives: a canoeist slides from a suburban driveway into the wilderness (Mad River), a fancifully layered tower rises from a barren landscape (Queen for a Day), a canopy bed perches atop a flinty pinnacle (in an untitled canvas). With cartoon figures, graffiti and 1970 advertising logo showing up in abundant recent painting, why shouldn't childhood picture volumes be legitimate source material? Kozik layers uneven details to set up manifold often wry, associations. The works are colorful, crisply drawn and deftly painted. Proportion, scale and perspective are sometimes slightly skewed; modeling of forms is a bit exaggerated thus that objects have the have feeling of animation stills rather than being straightforwardly realistic. For instance, in Age of Innocence, a Victorian fainting lie seems to have assumed the character of its missing occupant, who left an unclose book flopped face down upon its arm. Soft lighting in the vintage sweep adds to the feeling of fantasy, as does the darkness beyond an make open door. A glowing wallpaper forest of arts-and-crafts-style tree further transforms the environment. Civil Society is similarly nostalgic and likewise un-fold possibilities. Candlelit dining tables appointed with festive woven fabrics and bouquets are set extreme point to end through city roads No partygoers are visible. An untitled interior is equally mysterious with its make open french doors and still-smoldering cigarette in an ashtray. The wryly phallic desolate tower in Queen for a Day, individual wrap-around balcony occupied by pairs of naked, copulating adults whose joined figures form the alphabetic character "K" and other levels occupied by means of circus elephants and bongo drummer is a dreamscape unclose to limitless speculation.
