KENNY SCHARF 24 Février - 5 Avril

KENNY SCHARF 24 Février - 5 Avril
Né à Hollywood en 1958, Kenny Scharf a étudié à l'école des arts visuels de New York (BFA School of Visual Arts) dont il sort diplômé
en 1980. Il fait partie des artistes qui, au début des années 1980, créent une connexion entre le milieu de l'art contemporain et celui
du graffiti, comme Jean-Michel Basquiat ou Keith Haring. Il expose à la Fun Gallery en 1981 et à la galerie Tony Shafrazi en 1984.
Depuis, Kenny Scharf a exposé ses oeuvres dans le monde entier et ses peintures font partie des collections permanentes de
nombreuses institutions dont le Guggenheim Museum, le Whitney Museum ou encore le Stedelijk Museum d'Amsterdam.
Utilisant en toute liberté les images de la culture populaire (notamment télévisuelle), Scharf développe une oeuvre gaie et colorée,
un street art unique qu’il qualifie de « Pop Abstract Surrealism » assez proche de la philosophie de la Figuration libre.
Ses oeuvres sont bercées par une forme de “jeunesse éternelle”, un monde utopique, à la fois comique et vibrant de nostalgie.
Il utilise différentes techniques comme la peinture à l’huile, la peinture acrylique, la paillette, les bombes de peinture...
Pour sa collection Printemps-Eté 2014, le créateur Jeremy Scott a collaboré avec Kenny Scharf pour ses imprimés.
Born in Hollywood in 1958, Kenny Scharf studied Graphic Art at BFA School of Visual Arts of New York. After he graduated in 1980,
he was established as one of the first artists to connect Contemporary and Street Arts as Jean-Michel Basquiat or Keith Haring.
After his exhibitions at the Fun Gallery in 1981 and the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1984, Kenny Scharf showed his work across the world
and his paintings appeared in most museums' permanent collections as the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American
Art and Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam. Scharf's art is strongly influenced by Pop Culture (mainly TV). He develops a unique cheerly
and bright street art work qualified as "Pop Abstract Surrealism" with a Free Figuration mind. His work brings out a kind of "Eternel
Youth" in an utopian and nostalgic world both comic and enthusiastic. He uses various technics like oil and acrylic paintings, glitter
dust, and even created his very own range of spray paintings. Special Thanks to Paul Kasmin Gallery.
For his Spring/Summer 2014 collection, Jeremy Scott collaborated with Kenny Scharf for his prints.
