“Instant Bliss”
18 x 24 inches
Nihonga painting on board
2017
One of the paintings kozy made for our 2017 exhibition “The Golden State” at Greg Escalante’s Gregorio Escalante Gallery in Los Angeles. kozy was exploring the use of traditional Japanese painting medium and techniques for this series of paintings about our Los Angeles life. “Instant Bliss” touches on things we turn to for a quick outlet for relief - from stress, from pain, or whatever else - personified by a baby goat (due to kozy’s obsession with watching goat videos) and opium poppies from our garden (due to, well, opiates of course).

‘Wind-screen and Cherry Tree’, 17th century folding screen, paint on gold leaf (artist unknown).
Section of a 12th century satirical animal scroll painting, in which a frog has thrown a rabbit to the ground in a fight, to the laughter and delight of three frog companions. A visible puff of gas from of the victorious frog’s mouth shows the animal’s exertions. These scrolls, Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga or Chōjū-giga, are sometimes credited as being the earliest works of manga and they are still hilarious and incredible many centuries later—the frogs in particular.
