About the Item
"The Clever Sentimentalist" Surrealist Relief Sculpture Mickey Kane
Striking relief sculpture which evokes the human form. An organic yellow shape rests in the center of the composition, with two appendages reaching over a cut-out filled with crossed wire detailing. At the center of this form is a beaded heart with a faux gemstone in it. A series of carved sections radiate from the central figure. These sections feature rounded edges and a finish consisting of laid fibers. The surrounding area is then textured with a lively airbrushed background, which creates the sense of light streaming off the figure.
Signed and titled on verso:
"The Clever Sentimentalist" Kano 96
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.
