Incubus' Choice, February 2008 - http://www.incubuschoice.com
Alexis Ulrich: “The male fetishism, the military boots and black leathered gloves, rare bondage and scenes of submission, is a too scarcely explored world where balance of power are more present, tension more palpable, which is brilliantly depicted in those black and white photographs. Adam Kozik's nudes are more classic with a worked light, more aesthetic poses too, to show the splendor of an erection or the virility of a muscular body."

Joe Meyers: “Like Mapplethorpe and Witkin, Kozik has been out there on the edge finding beauty in the most unexpected places and subjects - including areas we might not want to venture into ourselves. Kozik's growing portfolio features everything from flowers to faces to architectural studies, but the work in the L.A. show falls into that sexually explicit area that some people might term "erotica" and others dismiss as porn. It's fascinating to me that the roadblock faced by Mapplethorpe and Pasolini in the 20th century are still in place for adventurous contemporary artists who would like to move into commercial galleries and theaters. These artists were and are recorders of the culture around them as well as aesthetics - what they've seen is what they explore in their art, so there is a journalistic/documentary aspect to the photos, paintings, and films that shouldn't be underestimated."
Chicago Free Press, May 2007
Paul Varnell: “Given the traditional associations of black and white, and since William Blake is an artist who Kozik likes, the photographs appear to recall Blake’s denial of good and evil in such poems as “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.” The point seems apposite since BDSM seems to violate a number of traditional taboos.”

Kate Sherry: “Having been involved with the S/M subculture, Kozik’s work focuses on the detail of the human form, which both fetishizes and sexualizes the human body.”
