Kenny Scharf — Shoowangshu
Kenny Scharf

Shoowangshu

2021

Kenny Scharf's "Shoowangshu" is a mixed media work on linen that combines oil, acrylic, and silkscreen ink, demonstrating the artist's characteristic maximalist approach to abstraction. The combination of these varied materials creates a dynamic visual surface that reflects Scharf's street art background and his interest in spontaneous, gestural mark making. Presented in a custom powder coated aluminum frame, the work bridges the gap between graffiti culture and fine art, characteristic of Scharf's practice throughout his career.
