Emil Kozak talks about his art exhibition at Vallery
Emil Kozak is coming from a small town in Denmark, and was inspired to take on graphic design as a result of his life long passion for skateboarding.
The following works by Emil, are a celebration of childhood and the art of growing up without loosing the admiration for the little things in life.
With this exhibition, Emil proposes a trip to an imaginary blue space, that takes us through the 80´s, the means of transportation, The Fibonacci Code, fun and games, discovery of mortality, and ideas to remind us to dream of better places.
Through his works, Emil took us to the Places where we can close our eyes, and for a second live in the moment as if it was the only reality, without worrying about the future and all the things that will go wrong.
Emil began at an early age to develop his skills, inspired by skateboard-art and the result today is a unique artist with brilliant ideas. The style of his work is often fresh and positive, and comes with a message that digs deeper.
He is the master of composition and has an eye for detail, that is not seen very often these days. Typographic, clean lines and few colors is often how Emil Kozak`s artwork is described. Yet, there is always an unexpected surprise: obscure references, playing with words, codes and hints.
Kozak is motivated by a simple goal that resonates throughout his work. ”I hope that my work can remind us that imagination can defy gravity and bend time. It is our own responsibility to enjoy every second of the day. Nobody else can do that for us. Have fun, eat candy, do what you love, love what you do… We might get thrown off this spinning ball of iron and mantle tomorrow.”
As a result his work has been exhibited widely all over the world and appeared in numerous magazines and books. He has produced design and artwork for clients such as Vans, Element, Graniph, Eastpak, Burton, Channel Islands, Nike, Lab Skateboards & Uniqlo.
