Respected artist Kenny Scharf proudly presented his exhibition of new works over the weekend. The exhibition, with the name Barberadise, showcased new paintings that features familiar icons from Scharf’s own nostalgical world.
In Barberadise, Scharf combines silkscreen, glitter, oil, spray paint and acrylic paint to paint the cast of familiar characters and to flesh out some new ones. He features the Flintstones and the Jetsons living in the cosmos, donuts floating in space, fantastical amorphic blobs, and vibrant topographical jungle paintings. Scharf also plays with found newspaper texts that are translated into screened words on canvas. In a number of new works he uses texts from1950s newspapers that were found stuffed in an old sofa. It is in the style of the Alfie movies, remember the one with Michael Caine and even the one with Jude Law.
I am a huge Hanna Barbara fan, I grew up watching the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Top Cat, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo and many others.
