Kozo at the National Arts Club: Show Inventory

Renowned for pushing the boundaries of tattoo artistry, Kozo, the visionary young artist, is set to unveil his inaugural solo exhibition at the iconic National Arts Club in New York City.

The opening reception will be held on April 12th from 6 to 8 pm, promising to be a landmark event in the art world.

At just 27 years old, Kozo has already left an indelible mark on the global tattoo scene. Known for adorning the skin of luminaries like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and more, Kozo has emerged as a luminary in the industry, transcending traditional boundaries and reshaping perceptions of tattooing as an art form.  A self-taught virtuoso, he honed his craft within the intimate confines of his own bedroom, etching narratives upon the willing canvases of friends and loved ones. Seven years of relentless practice culminated in a pivotal move to New York City, where Kozo has forged an entirely new medium in the visual arts. His designs are said to be minimalistic as he believes less is more, but aims to tell stories and bridge connections among people and cultures. He is inspired by traditional painters such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Jacques-Louis David for their paintings, as well as their persistence and work ethic. He has mastered this style and continues to learn from Old Masters, up-and-coming artists and new experiences, becoming a leader in the current culture of contemporary art.

All designs are original and limited edition.

Kozo's artistic signature is marked by rare steadiness, poetic gradients, and surgical precision. Inspired by the indomitable spirits of traditional painters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, Kozo pays homage to their work ethic while pushing the boundaries of contemporary artistry. His minimalist designs resonate with the adage that less is more, yet within their unembellished forms, Kozo weaves narratives that connect disparate threads of human experience and culture.

As Kozo prepares to debut his first solo show in New York City, he remains a perpetual student of art, engaging with the avant-garde and embracing novel experiences. Through his relentless pursuit of mastery, Kozo has become a trailblazer, navigating the currents of contemporary art culture with steadfast determination. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the evolution of tattoo artistry into a groundbreaking new medium at Kozo’s debut solo exhibition at the National Arts Club on April 12th, 2024.
