About the Item

Asymmetric Two-Sided Surrealist Hanging Sculpture by Mickey Kane Dual-sided biomorphic construction by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 1939-2002). This piece features smooth, organic edges around both sides. On one side, a bold orange and purple fuse together with geometric and organic detail work/carving across the surface. On the other side, wave-like ridges are carved into the wood. These undulating forms are covered in a mottled surface of orange and rust tones, creating a surface evocative of ceramic glazes. Within these rust tones is a carved area of shimmering purple and blue, tying in the color contrast from the aforementioned side. This piece is an excellent example of Kano's mastery of surface finishes. Size: 28"H x 12"W Has two holes for hanging on the top of the piece. Unsigned, purchased in a collection of the artists work. 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. Original Member, Artist’s Cooperative Gallery 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.
