  • Treepeople 7 Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin 1992 Seattle WA Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik

    Frank Kozik Treepeople 7 Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin 1992 Seattle WA Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik

    Treepeople 7-Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin 1992 Seattle WA Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1992 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of 250 Artwork Size 11x35 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Treepeople 7 Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin RKCNDY Seattle Washington 5-15-1992 In the vibrant landscape of early 90s pop culture, Frank Kozik's "Treepeople 7-Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin" silkscreen print emerges as a vivid artifact of the era's music scene, particularly that of Seattle, Washington. Dated May 15, 1992, and designed for a concert at the now-legendary venue RKCNDY, the poster represents a visual symphony of the zeitgeist, highlighting the grit and raw energy that defined the grunge movement. This hand-pulled print on fine art paper is a limited edition, with Kozik signing and numbering each of the 250 pieces, underscoring the exclusivity and cultural value of the work. With its size stretching to an impressive 11x35 inches, the artwork presents a striking design that embodies the anarchic spirit associated with Kozik's work and the music of the featured bands—Treepeople, 7 Year Bitch, Gnome, and Nubbin. The central figure in the print is a clown-like character, a recurring motif in Kozik's work, which often blends the grotesque with the whimsical. The figure's exaggerated features and the explosion of colors around it create a sense of celebration and parody, a duality that often permeates street art. Such pieces are more than mere promotional items; they are snapshots of a cultural moment. They reflect the aesthetic and ethos of the underground music scenes of the time, where the visual art was as much a part of the experience as the music itself. Kozik's prints, like this one, connect the energy of live performances with the tangible world of art collecting, offering fans a piece of history that encapsulates the sound, mood, and rebellion of the period. The poster's inclusion in the annals of pop, street, and graffiti art is undeniable. It captures the do-it-yourself essence and the anti-establishment stance that the visual and musical arts expressed during the early nineties. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it stands not just as a piece of memorabilia but as a symbolic work that continues to influence the aesthetic trajectories of street and pop art to this day.

Frank Kozik: A Pioneer in the Fusion of Street Pop Art and Music

Frank Kozik is an artist who has been pivotal in bringing the aesthetics of street pop art into the mainstream, mainly through the lens of music culture. Known predominantly for his influential concert posters, Kozik has carved out a niche that melds the counterculture spirit of punk rock with the visually arresting style of street art and graffiti. His work, characterized by a blend of bright colors, bold figures, and a grotesque touch, captures the rebellious energy of the music scene from the 1980s and beyond. Kozik’s journey into art was as unconventional as the pieces he created. He rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a time when the subversive energy of street art was beginning to gain recognition in the art world. His posters, created for bands performing in Austin, Texas's thriving punk rock scene, quickly became iconic. They were more than advertisements; they were standalone pieces of art that reflected the mood and the ethos of the music they promoted.

In the sphere of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Frank Kozik is a maverick who has bridged the gap between underground and mainstream, visual art and music, and playfulness and severe commentary.
