Scarab Totem Abstract New Age Surreal Sculpture by Mickey Kane

1988

About the Item

A Scarab Totem Abstract New Age Surreal Sculpture by Mickey Kane Dramatic construction of a 1980s Scarab Totem or wild Sci-Fi rendition by the local Santa Cruz artist (Mickey "Kano" Kane, 1939-2002). Wood, polymer resin, brass fasteners, textile machinery spools make up this eclectic and singular work of art. Size" 47.5"H x 58"W x .5"D 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.
