About Artist:
Kenny Scharf, born Los Angeles in 1958, is a painter and installation artist, best known for work inspired by comic books and pop culture.
He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and became part of the East Village art scene during the 1980s. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
A self-described "pop surrealist," Scharf employs a range of techniques, media and allusions to create hallucinatory worlds filled with floating donuts, cartoon characters and bright-coloured, often-anthropomorphic blobs. A dynamic and joyous burst of colour, form and energy radiate from his works. However, these saturated, seemingly playful shapes have sharp teeth that lurk beneath, reflecting the dual nature of our modern society.
Kenny Scharf's paintings reflect the artist's unique, self-generated, visual universe, feeding from the traditions of Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, comic books and Street Art.
Scharf has exhibited widely, including the Salvador Dali Museum, St. Petersburg; Biennale de Sao Paolo, Brazil; Queens Museum of Art, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Portland Art Museum; and the NSU Art Museum Ft. Lauderdale.
