Contemporary American artists, Futura and Kenny Scharf have linked up to co-create a limited-edition sculpture set with AllRightsReserved.
The two artists go way back. They held their first joint exhibition in New York’s Tony Shafrazi Gallery back in 1984, which served as the starting point for both their artistic careers and journies. With the latest collaboration, Futura and Kenny Scharf perfectly expressed their chemistry and creative visions in a playful, yet dynamic manner.
Dubbed “Untitled,” the new set of stainless steel sculptures showcases two pairs of characters, each onboard a distinct UFO. Futura’s emblematic FL-001 “Pointman” takes on a passenger role on the metallic purple spaceship, which appears to be piloted by ESPACIO, Kenny Scharf’s quirky character. The shape of the spaceship also boasts a more whimsical form, inheriting more of Scharf’s artistic language.
Meanwhile, the silver UFO takes on a more conventional silhouette. The Futura FL-003 comes in a matching hue to the spacecraft, signaling his control over it. Keeping the robot companion is LUCKY, a six-eyed and canine-like creature created by Scharf.
From November 6, 10 p.m. EST/ November 7 at 11 a.m. HKT, Futura x Kenny Sharf’s “Untitled” sculpture set will be available to order through DDTstore’s website as a limited release.
