ABOUT ARTIST 1: Best known for his cartoon-like paintings, drawings, and installations, Kenny Scharf rose to prominence in New York in the 1980s, collaborating with friends like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Scharf’s colorful work oscillates between Pop art and Surrealism. Scharf uses playful imagery to make a larger, more serious statement about society.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

This “Dogeyeguy” resin sculpture edition from 2004 was, at its time, early entries into the then-burgeoning Designer Toy scene which saw future releases in the art/toy realm from KAWS, Ron English, Jeff Soto and many others. This figure is bright, fun, smiling example of everything delightfully kitsch about Scharf’s work.

ABOUT ARTIST 2: Muralist, painter, sculptor, and installation artist Kenny Scharf is best known for his fantastical, large-scale paintings of anthropomorphic animals and imagined creatures, as in Viva Mare Viva Mar (2011). Though Scharf’s brightly colored imagery is generally playful, he has remarked that darker themes exist beneath the surface of his works, visible upon closer inspection. Scharf was a part of the 1980s East Village Art movement, along with his good friend and fellow street artist Keith Haring. The artist says he has been influenced by all 20th-century art movements, including Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, the latter reflected in his appropriation of cartoon characters from television shows like the Flintstones and Jetsons and his humorous depiction of snack food in Maple Glazed Donut Over Fertile Landscape (2011). Scharf’s oftentimes dense and frenetic compositions also echo a Baroque sensibility.
