Kenny Scharf, a native to Hollywood, California first came to artistic prominence in the early 1980s in New York, along with artists Keith Haring and Basquiat. Scharf placed his bright imagery, drawn from television and pop culture, on the streets and in nightclubs of the city, helping to nurture a dynamic and freewheeling scene. Scharf calls his art Pop Surrealism. Scharf is a prolific artist who has worked in many media, including painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and film. Also a product designer, he has also conceptualized everything from lifeguard stations, Zippo lighters, watches, cellphones, carpets and carnival carousels. Scharf has exhibited widely, including the Salvador Dali Museum, St. Petersburg, Bienalle de Sao Paolo, Brazil, Tony Shafrazi Gallery and Queens Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Monterrey, and the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art. Swatch Tie Him 1996 Checks checker checked retro Pop Surrealism Painting obglob 57x4 1223S03
