About the Item
"Om Away from Om" Wood Panel Original Painting and Carving
Elaborate collage, painting and carved sculpture by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 20th century). This piece is carved, with painted elements, gold leaf crescent moons, and satirical symbolism. Featuring a mandala-like structure that evokes mirrored beasts and anatomical forms, the work explores the tension between spiritual aspiration and ego. The embedded phrase “Entry Level” offers a biting critique of spiritual commodification, reflecting Kane’s recurring themes of irony and subversion. Through its layered textures and disruptive symmetry, the piece challenges the viewer to confront the absurdities of modern enlightenment culture.
Kano's work is outsider art - characterized by its creation outside the boundaries of mainstream art and often by self-taught or unconventional artists. Outsider art encompasses a diverse range of artists, including self-taught visionaries, psychiatric patients, and those outside the mainstream art world.
Titled, signed, and dated on verso:
"Om Away from Om" Kano 92
Panel size: 48"H x 72"W
Mickey “Kano” Kane (American, 1939-2002) was born in Illinois and grew up in Sacramento, CA. Kane moved to the Pacific Coast and worked on mixed media panels - which he would refer to as a “Totem” – and detailed collage compositions. His collage work is generally satirical or critical in nature, frequently dealing with themes of money, capitalism, government, power, and debt. By contrast, his “Totem” sculptural work is abstract and free of direct symbolism, focusing instead on the aesthetics of the composition.

Artist’s Statement:
The Totem is indicative of the unfolding 21st Century, graphically and metaphorically. It is neither one side nor the other, nor does one side challenge or compete with the other. Each side cooperates and thus enhances the other so that both "sides" transcend that definition into a composition revealing that, indeed, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Totem reflects the inner harmony that all sides, whether two or two thousand, are striving to manifest in their own inimitable way.
