Framed Blacklight Poster: Frank Kozik "PROTEIN" (1995)
This is a framed blacklight poster from 1995 by Frank Kozik, titled "PROTEIN."
This live promotion poster was created in 1995 by Frank Kozik, an artist representing American alternative culture in the 1990s. Produced to announce a record release party for the San Francisco band "PROTEIN," this piece is condensed with Kozik's signature dark humor and wit.
Frank Kozik has created poster art for numerous musicians, including Nirvana, Melvins, Soundgarden, and Beastie Boys, and was a visual force supporting the underground music scene of the 90s. With a style that uniquely blends vibrant screen printing colors, psychedelic culture, punk, and a raw, "low-life" atmosphere, he is an artist with passionate collectors worldwide.
This is a poster for the "PROTEIN RECORD RELEASE PARTY" held on November 3, 1995, at "Transmission Theatre" in San Francisco. The bottom of the poster includes venue information, mentions of co-performing bands "DOLOROSA & OATS," and details like "Protein has been nominated for the 1995 Wammies music awards," offering a glimpse into the scene at the time and conveying the real energy of live culture.
The design, at first glance, features a cute style reminiscent of American kids' illustrations from the 1950s-60s. However, the composition, including a blindfolded child, an unsettling atmosphere, and black humor, imbues it with Kozik's characteristic irony and counter-culture spirit, transcending mere retro pop.
The bold color scheme, featuring vivid neon red, lime green, purple, and yellow, glows even more eerily under blacklight. This allows for the enjoyment of the psychedelic visual effects unique to blacklight posters, offering different expressions day and night.
Furthermore, this item is editioned "196/575" and signed by Kozik himself. It holds high value as a collectible piece and is a significant work among 90s music posters.
This Frank Kozik piece strongly reflects the atmosphere of 90s America, where art, music, and street culture intersected.
