A street art pioneer, @KennyScharf studied in New York, was a roommate of Keith Haring, and traded art with Andy Warhol. Reflecting an early fascination with television and the futuristic promise of shows like The Jetsons, Scharf's anti-elitist work often includes pop culture icons and spans a wide range of practices including sculpture, fashion, video, and performance. Back in his native Southern California Scharf recently moved from his Culver City studio to a large space in Inglewood and is working as hard as ever, telling @GalerieMagazine at one point "I don't stop—seven days a week, ten hours a day." Back in 2013 Scharf visited the @PimaAir & Space Museum in Tucson to participate in the Bone Yard Project, painting "Back to Supersonica" on this out of service Lockheed Jetstar.  @kennyscharf
