Kenny Scharf — Space Snake
Kenny Scharf

Space Snake

A vibrant and psychedelic composition by Kenny Scharf, "Space Snake" bursts with the artist's signature kaleidoscopic color palette and cartoonish, cosmic imagery. The work reflects Scharf's deep engagement with pop culture, science fiction, and the lowbrow aesthetic that defined his emergence from the 1980s East Village art scene. Swirling forms and playful characters inhabit a fantastical universe that bridges the gap between fine art and the visual language of television, toys, and outer space fantasy.

acrylic and oil on canvas
