Of those people who were once drawn to Ken Paul Lozada's sculpture garden in Half Moon Bay, California, trying to get a closer look at pieces of wood to which he has given a new life with shiny, undulating lines, cavernous abysses, and chiseled squares, many found their initial interest giving way to a sense of wanting to know more about their creator and author of “The Seven Treasures of Life.” This biographical glimpse at this creator includes family photos spanning five generations and reveals that his arboreal creations are messengers about the sacred nature all humans possesses within. A near-death experience after a car accident left Ken, who spent many years in an orphanage, with a new understanding about the gift of life which he has since sought to share with others. He has surrendered to complete honesty and openness, while becoming a conveyor of truth. His gravity-defying fragments of wood become symbols of restoration as these once-majestic trees that have been discarded get a new lease on life. The book features the photography of Ken's sculptures by Pete Zivkov, Joanne Ehrich, and others.

Arts & Literature

ZEN ART explores the connections between abstract expressionistic modern art, Zen-art, philosophy, and poetry and ways in which Zen relates to the modern field of expressive art therapy. Showcased are mono prints, monotypes, etchings, watercolors, and handmade paper works by the author. Illustrated are the laws of sacred geometry, color, and contrast to create meaningful, nonfigurative compositions. The process of refining visual building blocks in abstract expressionism mimics the process of attaining enlightenment according to Tao teachings in which judgment needs to be suspended and any thought is to be questioned. While a representational image imitates a slice of life that has been frozen in time, abstract artmaking mimics the path of enlightenment taken by an aspirant from a process point of view. Art imitates life as the artist needs to first explore and discover the unique talent. After the emergence of a personal voice, transformation takes place. Epiphanies and accidental mistakes work synergistically with new explorations that lead to new discoveries and synchronicities. An individual set of visual tools can be likened to musical instruments that play an infinite amount of tunes consisting of space, shapes, textures, gestures, color fields, and movements coalescing in an interplay between light and dark to express the artist's emotions, struggles, discoveries, and aspirations. The resulting images become a doorway to the soul, and viewers bring their own associations to bear as these visual symphonies unfold. Images are accompanied by short Zen proverbs with messages of clarity, realization, lightness, bliss, and sense of connection. Among the famous authors are Rumi, Krishnamurti, Ram Dass, Buddha, Osho, Basho, and others. Nancy Margulies, Psychologist: "As an art therapist and lifelong artist I was delighted to gain new insight into the creative process. Zen Art: Origins in Abstract Expressionism and Art Therapy helped me understand and then SEE the relationship between self-understanding and the ebb-and-flow of image creation… Blending neuroscience, Jungian insight and a perfect pairing of abstract art and Zen philosophy, she paves the way for readers to explore their own inner realms through the process of creating art." Manual Ortega, ABD MA Psychology, f. Music Teacher: "The how and why expressive arts therapy works is brilliantly, succinctly and in an easily absorbed manner presented here. Zen Art… bridges the arc begun with the writings of Carl Jung (prior to advent of MRIs), extended through the work of Antonio Demasio's The Feeling of What Happens..., to our present understanding of our brain's plasticity."

History & Criticism

Step into the world of upscale, highbrow artistic expression. Mingle with the sophisticates as you delve into the deeper implications of the great masterpieces of the world. Stroll down the corridors of the world-famous Koala Museum of Modern Art (KOMA, pronounced "coma"), exploring its many galleries. First the East Wing, then West Wing, followed by the South Wing. Or just wing it. Better yet, read this book and save yourself all that walking. Commentaries appearing in this book were composed by our illustrious Chief Executive Curator, the same individual who brought the original exhibit to life by unearthing an unprecedented number of little-known great masterpieces, each with a common theme: the furry, friendly, mysterious koala. Readers will be amazed to see all the famous works of art into which the iconic koala has insinuated itself. Never been able to figure out why the Mona Lisa smiles? Check out her companion in canvas and you'll understand that enigmatic expression—it's hard to keep a straight face when there's a koala sidling up to you. Ever challenged friends to see what images you can find in an impressionist painting? It will be much more fun to interpret a Monet when there are koalas lurking in the leaves. Fail to see the point of modern art at all? Discover its new purpose as a playground for merry marsupials emerging from pattern and shadow, and learn to look at it in a new way. This lighthearted look at some of the marsupial-pieces of modern art will bring a smile to the face of anyone who has had to endure a boring museum tour, and lighten the spirits of those who enjoy whimsy in artwork.
