First the legal Barry McGee mural, then the illegal Irak cover up, now there's the new Kenny Scharf mural on the corner of Bowery and Houston in NYC, which has been up as of Sunday night.
Kenny Scharf is known for his colorful depictions of moderately warped cartoon characters. He used to be known for using animated cartoons that were popular during his childhood, such as The Flintstones andThe Jetsons. The Brooklyn resident's star is still rising (he was a key figure in the East Village art scene of the 1980s). His style still gives off vibrant energy.
The new mural replaces an illegal tribute to the late Dash "SACE" Snow, which you can view in slide 5. Dash Snow, a 27-year-old promising young New York artist, died in a hotel in Lower Manhattan of a drug overdose. He was 27 and lived in Manhattan. His death was confirmed by his grandmother, the art collector and philanthropist Christophe de Menil.
Before the spray-over, Barry McGee and collaborator Amaze n’ crew paid homage to hundreds of writers on both coasts by putting up names in each person’s original style. You can view the making of that mural in the rest of the pictures.
The Bowery & Houston mural is curated by the Deitch Projects and have featured Shepard Fairey, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos and more. Stay tuned for future murals.
