About the Item
Untitled carved sculpture and painting by Mickey "Kano" Kane (American, 20th century). Wood panel has large cut-outs where golden wire is strung between the edges.
This striking piece utilizes carving, painting, paper laying, and other mixed media techniques to create a dynamic surface. The composition is bilaterally symmetrical with both geometric and organic elements. In the center a large yellow triangle is broken into by the large wavy cutouts, creating an image reminiscent of a mask. The yellow centerpiece features carved as well as sculptural elements. Surrounding this center shape is a combination of airbrush-painted surfaces and areas where thick paper pulp has been applied on top of the otherwise smooth paint.
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.
Work is untitled and unsigned.
Piece was purchased in a lot of the artists work.
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.
