The last we visited legendary artist, Kenny Scharf, he was working with Parley for the Oceans on a custom set of surfboards with the proceeds benefitting charity.
In conjunction with the Swiss publishing company, JRP Editions, Scharf released a new screenprint titled “LOOKY.” The round shape of the artwork is one the artist is fond of and has recurrently worked within in the past, such as his 2019 Tondo series, which went on view at the “Universalis” exhibition in La Nave Salinas, Ibiza. The round format of the work also bears a striking resemblance to the emoji-based culture that has become the norm in modern communication.
