Overview
On now Until 17 Jan
The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza presents an exhibition dedicated to the artist Kenny Scharf, a key figure in the 1980s New York movement.
The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is hosting an exhibition focusing on the career of Kenny Scharf, who is linked to New York's East Village and was a pioneer of urban art alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Hering and Andy Warhol. The journey brings together various facets of his production, which spans painting, sculpture, installations, murals, performance and fashion.
In the rooms, compositions characterised by an intense colour palette and the use of fantastic anthropomorphic figures can be seen, with influences from popular culture and surrealism. Their creator coined the term pop surrealism to define a style that questions traditional artistic hierarchies within the pop movement.
This proposal is aimed at visitors interested in contemporary art and urban and pop aesthetics. The display makes it possible to observe the evolution of a creator whose work forms part of international collections in various museums.
