Kenny Scharf

”Kenny Scharf’s Flyngle transforms the canvas into a fantastical ecosystem where tropical flora, crystalline forms, and hybrid creatures intertwine in a surreal nocturnal jungle. A luminous bird-like figure glides through the scene, suggesting a world that is at once natural and extraterrestrial.

”In dialogue with his larger practice, the work extends Scharf’s pop-surrealist language into an ecological register—lush, playful, yet edged with unease. The intricate vegetation feels both enchanting and toxic, echoing his concerns with consumer culture, environmental fragility, and the merging of organic life with synthetic invention. Flyngle captures Scharf’s signature balance of fantasy and critique: dazzling in its visual excess while quietly pointing to the instability of our ecosystems and the possibility of strange futures.
