kenny scharf

Kenny Scharf’s Monsterug brings his exuberant visual universe into direct conversation with an antique Oushak. created in 2014 with spray paint, the work sets Scharf’s animated figures and electric pop sensibility against a timeworn woven field, allowing two radically different histories to occupy the same surface.

the result is neither a traditional rug nor a painting translated into textile, but a singular work in which the rug itself becomes the canvas. playful, unruly and unmistakably Scharf, Monsterug carries the energy of street art into an object shaped by age, craft and use.
