Mike Kelley — Street Sign
Mike Kelley

Street Sign

Mike Kelley's *Street Sign* is a screenprint rendered in colors on a white baked enamel aluminum panel, mimicking the utilitarian aesthetic of urban signage. The work incorporates puncture holes, reinforcing its resemblance to actual street signs while blurring the line between functional object and fine art. Kelley's choice of industrial materials reflects his broader interest in examining American vernacular culture and the overlooked symbols embedded in everyday life.
