The serial imagery and the iconic quality of Scharf's faces evoke the work of Andy Warhol. The conceptual structure also reflects the heritage of minimal art. His work fuses the vocabulary of Pop and Minimalism with the 1960s California TV culture of his childhood. This new book by cult American artist, Kenny Scharf (b. 1958, Los Angeles) reveals his latest body of works entitled 'MOODZ'. Comprising over 330 circular paintings of faces (each one different) this comprehensive ensemble gives form to a population of moods, feelings, expressions, and colours. Scharf explains they all reflect aspects of his own personality. This publication gathers together the entire series of 'MOODZ', with views from its 2019/20 exhibition in Los Angeles (US) and Ibiza (Spain), and documentation related to the project.
