Edition of 99 + 15 PP
"Bluester" is a vibrant screenprint by American artist Kenny Scharf, created in 2023. This circular, or tondo, print measures 61 cm (24 inches) in diameter and showcases Scharf's signature blend of pop culture and surrealism. This work continues Scharf's exploration of tondo formats, a practice he began in the 1980s and revisited in recent years for exhibitions like "MOODZ" at Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles.
Kenny Scharf’s prints are a vibrant extension of his eclectic and playful artistic vision, blending pop culture, surrealism, and street art influences. Known for his whimsical, cartoon-like characters and kaleidoscopic use of colour, Scharf’s prints capture the energy and optimism that define his larger body of work. Often featuring fantastical creatures, cosmic landscapes, and elements of nostalgia, his pieces evoke a sense of wonder while subtly addressing themes like consumerism, environmentalism, and the human condition. Scharf employs techniques such as screenprinting and lithography to bring his dynamic imagery to life, ensuring that his prints retain the boldness and immediacy of his original works. Accessible and highly collectable, Kenny Scharf’s prints embody his mission to make art joyful and engaging for a wide audience.

Kenny Scharf
Kenny Scharf is a renowned artist affiliated with the 1980s-era East Village art movement in New York City.
Scharf developed a distinct and uniquely personal artistic style in paintings and prints as well as sculpture, alongside his mentor Andy Warhol, and contemporaries like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring with whom he pioneered contemporary street art. References to popular culture reoccur throughout Scharf's works, such as appropriated cartoon characters from the "Flintstones" and "Jetsons," as well as imagined anthropomorphic creatures. Through ecstatic compositions and a dazzling color palette, he presents an immersive viewing experience that is both intimate and fresh.
Scharf's multifaceted practice — spanning painting, sculpture, installation work, murals, performance and fashion — reflects his dedication to the creation of dynamic forms of art that deconstruct existing artistic hierarchies, echoing the philosophy of Pop artists. Yet Scharf’s artistic significance expands beyond the art historical terrain of Pop art; the artist instead coined the term “Pop Surrealist” to describe his one-of-a-kind practice. His inclusion in the 1985 Whitney Biennial marked the start of his international phenomenon, a reputation that continues to thrive today.
