Peter Rabbit; Miffy; Mushie Moro. Ask anyone - bunnies are so hot right now. Riding high on the bunny bandwagon are artists Dan and Kozue Kitchens, with their new exhibition “bunnies love chewy”.
Based in LA, Kozyndan are renown for both fine art and commercial projects, including album covers for John Mayer and Weezer, T-shirts, posters and the recently published book Urban Myths.
A melting pot of sweet print and social critique, using illustrated, digital pencil drawings, the duo’s latest exhibition sees furry fiends invade city landscapes and multiply tsunami-style. The collection posts surreal Eastern-inspired “bunny blossom” prints next to modern cityscapes, where super-sized rabbits amble about amidst sprawling urban backdrops.
Whether slumped slurping Hubba Bubba or wandering through an ad-packed city, “bunnies love chewy” points to the somewhat fascicle nature of the modern world; all at once wacky, fascinating and unnerving.
If you’re partial to fluffy tails and dislike rabbit pie, then hop along to the March 4 opening to meet the artists and their fluffy horde.
