So GLAD this is now available!,
By Spitz (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metaphorical Journey (Hardcover)
I first saw this book in Kush's gallery in Lahaina, Maui, two years ago, and I've been kicking myself ever since for not buying it at the time. I wasn't even able to order it long-distance from the galleries carrying Kush's work -- the book ALWAYS seemed to be sold out. But now, here it is! Yay, Amazon!
For those not familiar with Kush's work, it is absolutely stunning -- beautiful, surprising, terrifying, and humorous all at the same time. It's often compared to the works of Salvador Dali, though Kush's work contains a softness and ethereal beauty that Dali's work often lacks. This lush, lovely book contains some of Kush's finest work. Highly recommended for anyone seeking something new from a modern master.

This book is amazing!,
This review is from: Metaphorical Journey (Hardcover)
Vivid images capture the imagination. The paintings shown in "Metaphorical Journey" present objects in ways that are fresh and utterly stunning. High quality printing, vibrant color, and sturdy binding make this a very beautiful book.
I first found this book in a gallery while on vacation in Las Vegas, NV. I became instantly enamored with Kush's work, but as a person of limited means, I could not purchase the paintings themselves. This book, however, is perfect for casual perusal from my coffee table.

By Jessica Nelson (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metaphorical Journey (Hardcover)
What a beautiful book. I am an artist and love to collect books. I recently purchased this book at the artist's Las Vegas gallery. I am so glad I did. The paintings are beautifully reprinted and very true to color. I paid $100 for the book. No regrets!!!
