Ross + Kramer Extends Kenny Scharf’s ‘Look Both Ways’ Exhibition

Summary

  • Ross + Kramer has extended Kenny Scharf’s Look Both Ways exhibition until June 28
  • The show includes an array of artworks that span Scharf’s expansive career from the 1980s to the present

The Ross + Kramer team has prolonged Kenny Scharf’s “Look Both Ways” exhibition, keeping it open past its original closing date on May 24, 2025. This extended run allows visitors to enjoy a vibrant collection of paintings and sculptures that span Scharf’s career from the 1980s up until now.

Known as the “founder of street art,” Kenny Scharf became well-known in the 1980s during the lively East Village artistic movement. His unique style of using spray paint on canvas showcases his origins in street art, resulting in a colorful, energetic, and “sweet-coated” visual world that humorously reflects contemporary culture, science fiction, ecological matters, and existential anxieties.

One notable piece is ‘Portalis (2020)’, a cosmic-themed painting featuring swirling blues and glowing green orbs, giving viewers a glimpse into an otherworldly realm. Another striking work is ‘Paradis Perdu (cutout) (2022)’ where a tree with a cartoonish face breaks free from its 2D limitations to become a sculpture adorned with expressive eyes and colorful blooms, showcasing the artist’s ability to blend street art aesthetics with fine art finesse. This combination is on full display in the exhibition Look Both Ways, offering an engaging exploration of Scharf’s artistic growth.

I can’t wait to immerse myself in the vibrant world of Kenny Scharf’s “Look Both Ways” exhibition! This captivating display will continue to grace Ross + Kramer’s Miami gallery until June 28, 2025. Mark my words, it’s a must-see for any art enthusiast!
