Offered in glossy kaleidoscope of five color variants, Kenny Scharf’s Scary Guy multiples, published by Lio Malca and fabricated by ToyQube, are playful and compelling sculptures that capture a whimsical character at the center of the artist’s most enduring and iconic imagery. The sculpture’s curvilinear form highlights Scary Guy’s cartoon-like quality, with the finish adding dynamism as the reflective surface animates the work and invites the viewer into Scharf’s Pop Surrealist environment. 

Creating three-dimensional art objects has endured as an important element of Scharf’s practice. From painting boomboxes and televisions in the early 1980s to monumental installations worldwide, he has long embraced the style of ‘psychedelic conceptualism’.  

These intimate sculptural multiples are a natural progression for the artist, creating an accessible opportunity to add Scharf’s vibrant gestural works to any collection. The Scary Guy motif has adorned neighborhoods across New York taking the form of street art on the Lower East Side, a monumental sculpture on the Chelsea High Line, and the subject of many paintings by the artist.
