Acerca del libro
KK (aka Karl Kotas), like every good artist, has a process. Of course his involves a mix of meditation and liquor, but these days it seems most creativity evolves from some level of imbibing. KK shows us some of his Neo-Tiki imagery mixed with super colorful swaths of splattered paint, and nordic runes.
Telling us about how he makes his art, KK explains, "I start out by trying to avoid any direct imagery. Then I overcome mental inertia by meditation and drinking booze. I make a stroke, and then I paint over the stroke. I paint around the stroke. Sometimes, I make something sexy or titillating. I try to be representative but then, I just spatter paint and inject some graphic iconography, corporate logos, Japanese lettering, primitive symbols and then destroy them. I work subconsciously without any intervention by the conscious mind or intellect.”
Regarding who his art is for, and what it’s supposed to do, KK tells us, “It is for people whose musical tastes range from Captain Beefheart to trance and down-tempo and are post-ideological with their politics. My art is like a mandala, or meditative object. It is supposed to induce an altered state of consciousness.”
