This project was dedicated to artist of New York in the 1970's. The artist I was assigned was Kenny Scharf, known for his pop surrealism work.

 There’s peace and chaos. Scharf always believed that you should have fun when creating art.

I took inspiration from his love for the space opera aesthetic popularized by Klaus Nomi.

In 1981, Scharf made up this manifesto where he defined “Pop Surrealism”. Which is how his art can be defined as.
